ISLAMABAD:
Defeat in the election of Senate chairman and deputy chairman on Friday turned out to be a rude awakening call for the opposition Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) as it forced the bigwigs in the 11-party alliance to mull over the results, legal options, and a future course of action.
On Saturday, the PDM’s big three – Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Co-chairman Asif Zardari, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman – held a telephonic conversation to discuss the Senate election result.
