Pervaiz urges Opp to unite

LAHORE
PAKISTAN Muslim League-Q senior central leader and former Deputy Prime Minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi has said rebellion of N-League members has come to the fore in the Senate election and all government’s tactics to stop this had failed.
Due to unconstitutional, undemocratic and conflicting ordinance on voting of FATA MNAs, Senate election could not be completed in one day for the first time in Pakistan, opposition should forge unity in their ranks to get the offices of the Chairman and Deputy Chairman of the Senate.
He stated this while talking separately to media and delegation of Overseas Pakistanis called on him under the leadership of Syed Shabbir Shah, here, Friday. He said Senate election had always been completed in one day in the history of Pakistan but this did not happen this time for which present undemocratic and product of rigging government was responsible, it got such an ordinance promulgated by the President regarding election to the Senate from FATA due to which the members could not be elected from there. He said it had been established that the role of the sitting President was merely that of rubber stamp, he should not have promulgated such unconstitutional and vague ordinance. In reply to a question, he said that N-League rulers in order to stop rebellion among their MPAs had tried in vain to amend the Constitution.
