NOWSHERA: Federal Minister for Defence Pervez Khattak on Sunday alleged that opposition parties were opposing open ballot as they wanted horse-trading in the upcoming Senate election.
“The two major political parties – Pakistan People’s Party and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz - had signed Charter of Democracy in which open ballot was supported but now they are objecting to it,” he said this while speaking at a gathering after inaugurating new electricity feeder at Union Council Gandheri and Union Council Kheshgi Bala here.
He warned that the government would not allow anyone to indulge in horse-trading.
He said that the day of their accountability had come that was why politicians affiliated to opposition parties were making hue and cry.
