ISLAMABAD: State Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb Monday said that the ugly face of those chanting slogans for change had been exposed. The state minister, along with Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader Tallal Chaudhry, was addressing the media after the Senate elections, in which the opposition-backed candidate Sadiq Sanjrani emerged victorious. She said that former prime minister Nawaz Sharif never participated in the process of buying. “The one who always stands firm on his principles is none other than Nawaz Sharif.” The minister went on to say: “The Pakistan People’s Party keeps on chanting that Bhutto is alive, however, he got martyred today.” She claimed that backstabbers were exposed before the public today. The state minister said that the biggest step still lies ahead. She said that the people would vote for Nawaz Sharif and the ideology of the PML-N would emerge victorious. In the Senate election, Sanjrani secured 57 votes out of possible 103 votes and was administered the oath by presiding officer Sardar Yaqub Khan. Sanjrani, an independent, had been backed by PPP, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P). According to reports, Sanjrani also had the support of independent senators elected from the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). Published in Daily Times, March 13th 2018.
