ISLAMABAD: Senior vice president of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Shahid Khaqan Abbasi in his capacity as Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) secretary general issued show-cause notice to Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and the Awami National Party (ANP) on Monday for nominating Yousuf Raza Gilani as the opposition leader in the Senate “in violation of the unanimous decision” of the alliance.
The PPP, however, questioned the authority and the procedure adopted for the issuance of the notice and alleged that “the move is not only aimed at damaging the PPP, but finding an excuse to formally abolish the opposition’s alliance which received big successes against the government during the recent by-polls and the Senate elections”.
