ANP demands removal of Senate chairman

ISLAMABAD: The Awami National Party (ANP) has demanded removal of Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani.

The ANP leader Zahid Khan said in a statement urged the opposition parties to bring a no-confidence motion against the chairman. The ANP leader said that initiation of movement against the government should start with the removal of the Senate chairman and a joint candidate should be brought for the position afterwards.

He also said that if Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and Maryam Nawaz are serious to launch an anti-government drive, then they should remove the Senate chairman and that his party will stand with the opposition on the issue. He added that if Sanjrani is not de-seated, then people will not trust Bilawal and Maryam, therefore, to restore the confidence of the opposition parties, the removal is mandatory.
