A talk on hurdles in quest of democracy Karachi March 15, 2021 The audience in the Jaun Elia Lawn of the Karachi Arts Council relished former Senate chairman Raza Rabbani’s response after journalist Mazhar Abbas asked him who “basically” within his Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) had opposed his nomination against Sadiq Sanjrani in 2018 for three more years. Rabbani smilingly replied: “Just my luck!” And then everyone laughed together. They were present on the stage to conduct a session titled ‘In Quest of Democracy’ as part of the Sindh Literature Festival on Sunday afternoon. Abbas started off the discussion by throwing a question at Rabbani that whether what they did to Federal Finance Minister Hafeez Sheikh during the Senate elections had happened to them during the voting for the chairmanship of the upper house.
