Senate polls dispute intensifies
ISLAMABAD/LAHORE: Controversy over the Senate elections has intensified as the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) have rejected early polls in the Upper House of the Parliament, while the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has taken its ally Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) into confidence over the matter.
Parliamentary leader of the PPP in Senate Sherry Rehman said a dangerous turn lies ahead for the country. She said the parliament has been dishonoured in just two and a half years.
“They do not consider the Constitution anything,” Sherry Rehman said of the government. “The government wants to impose a daku raaj on the entire country,” she went on to say. She said the government was nervous after the Lahore rally, which is why it was trying to change the Senate elections schedule.
