PML-N hurling allegations in frustration after defeat in Senate: PPP

ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Tuesday said the PML-N has started hurling allegations in frustration after facing the defeat in the Senate election.

“Those who raised the slogans ‘stop us if you can’ should see themselves that we have stopped them,” said Secretary General PPP Syed Nayyar Hussain Bukhari while addressing a press conference here Tuesday along with President PPP Central Punjab Qamar Zaman Kaira, Senator Maula Baksh Chandio, Secretary General PPP Punjab Chaudhry Manzoor, Faisal Karim Kundi, Provincial Minister Sindh Saeed Ghani and PPP Media Coordinator Nazir Dhoki.

Nayyar Hussain Bukhari said there was no bar in the secret ballot to vote for candidate of the choice but the PML-N after the defeat has started series of allegations and now even remembered Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Shaheed Benazir Bhutto. “Nawaz Sharif earlier questioned that why he was ousted and now he started questioning why he was defeated,” he said.

Qamar Zaman Kaira said those who raising the slogans of ‘stop us if you can’ should see that the PPP had stopped them. “Those who faced defeat in the Senate elections were now declaring the Senate elections as ‘circus” but in case they win then everything will be all right,” he said.

He said if the judiciary and NAB gave decision in their favour and political parties made their policies according to their wishes then everything is acceptable but if the decision were made in accordance with the law then they thought that they are not being proved justice. “Now they are crying for appearing before the courts but forget how they made the fabricated cases against Shaheed Benazir Bhutto and Asif Ali Zardari and both were appearing in courts in Karachi, Lahore, Rawalpindi but they have not yet sought apology for framing the fake cases,” he said.

Kaira said it was victory of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Shaheed Benazir Bhutto in the Senate elections and even Senate was echoed with the slogan of “Next term Zardari again’ and now the PPP will not only form the federal government but also in the provinces. “Nawaz Sharif is a political heir of dictator Ziaul Haq but now he was reminding philosophy of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Shaheed Benazir Bhutto, he added.
