ISLAMABAD: The opposition Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) has put the entire responsibility of Friday’s Senate election fiasco on the secretary of the Senate Secretariat and demanded that he should be “dismissed and put in jail”.
Speaking at a news conference at the PPP Media Office here on Saturday, Sindh Education Minister Saeed Ghani said the conduct of the elections of Senate chairman and deputy chairman was the responsibility of the Senate Secretariat and not the Election Commission of Pakistan and the secretariat had failed to fulfil its responsibilities in this regard.

ISLAMABAD: Exulting at the victory of the government-backed candidates in the election for the Senate chairman and deputy chairman, Information Minister Senator Shibli Faraz has said that the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) government is now in a position to forward its reform agenda for the benefit of the nation.
Addressing a press briefing here on Saturday, the minister said that opposition parties had obstructed the government’s legislation in the upper house of parliament over the last two-and-a-half years.
Mr Faraz refused to directly answer the question as to how the government would be able to get a bill passed if the opposition, which enjoys majority in the Senate, decided to oppose that piece of legislation.
