ISLAMABAD: Only seven government bills are pending in the Senate where the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) plans to conduct aggressive legislation after its numerical strength improved following the March election to half of the upper house.
However, despite its greater strength, the ruling coalition is not likely to enjoy smooth sailing in the Senate.
An indication of this came when a resolution sponsored by an opposition senator was recently passed, defeating the government that opposed it.
The motion related to the prices of COVID-19 vaccines being provided to the people on a commercial basis.

ISLAMABAD: Barring exceptions, political parties have by and large rewarded their diehard and committed leaders by awarding tickets to them for the March 3 Senate elections.
The loyalty of several of the aspirants is beyond an iota of doubt. They have stood with their respective parties come rain or shine and defended their party’s line regardless of whether it was right or misplaced. Among these loyalists are Shibli Faraz, Saifullah Niazi, Dr Zarqa, Taj Haider, Sherry Rehman, Palwasha Khan, Farhatullah Babar, Karim Khawaja, Pervez Rashid, Mushahidullah Khan, Prof Sajid Mir, Farooq H Naek and Salim Mandviwala.
Some hopefuls for the Senate have been surprisingly left out. They include Muhammad Zubair, Babar Awan and Shahzad Akbar.
