Bidding already underway for seats in Senate election: PM Imran

SAHIWAL (Dunya News) - Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that bids are already being made for seats in Senate elections and he knows which political leader is investing the money.

Talking to reporters on Friday, Imran Khan said that it was impossible that a person who invests in becoming a Senator will not recover it by making money later on. The government will bring constitutional amendments for open voting in Senate elections and those who oppose anti-corruption amendments will be exposed to the nation, he told.

The Prime Minister said that Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) was bound to fail, all the looters have ganged up to blackmail him while their fugitive leader wants to bring a revolution while sitting in London.

Imran Khan said that he considers criticism from the opposition an honor. “If the opposition praises me, I would consider it an insult”, he added.

He said the government and the opposition are supposed to run the parliament together but from day one, they have been using it to get an NRO instead of discussing issues of public interest.

The Prime Minister further said that government lands cannot be occupied without political backing, Khokhar brothers grabbed billions worth of government land and Maryam Nawaz expressed solidarity with them. Maryam, who calls herself a future leader, supported the land mafia who occupied government lands in their tenures. When the Prime Minister himself backs the land grabbers, who will stop the rest, he asked.

Imran Khan said that Fazlur Rehman is a corrupt man, calling him Maulana is an insult to the real scholars. He became a billionaire by exploiting the children of madrassahs.

He said that PTI has given data of 40,000 accounts to the Election Commission and challenged that opposition parties would not even be able to produce details of 1000 accounts.
