KARACHI:
As Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf candidate Sadiq Sanjrani was re-elected as the Senate chairperson on Friday, the political arena in Sindh heated up and political rifts came to the fore amid allegations of rigging.
While Murtaza Wahab of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP)- which is part of the Pakistan Democratic Alliance (PDM) that fielded Yousuf Raza Gilani against Sanjrani for the top Senate slot- took a jibe at the PTI with regards to the discovery of spy cameras in the polling booth during the election of Senate head and implied rigging on part of the ruling party in the Centre.
