ISLAMABAD: Claiming victory in the Senate chairman elections, the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) on Friday said the election was stolen, and announced to challenge rejection of seven votes of the PDM candidate Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani in the court.
On the other hand, the government said the opposition is shedding tears as its politics is buried.
The PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari said the Senate chairman election "has been stolen right in front of the eyes of the people".
Addressing a press conference, Bilawal claimed that the PDM — the opposition parties' anti-government coalition — "has defeated the (PTI) government in the National Assembly and the Senate”.
