ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Information Marriyam Aurangzeb on Monday said that those who were levelling allegations of horse trading in Senate elections should tell how their candidate Chaudhry Sarwar was elected Senator from Punjab despite securing less number of votes.
Talking to media outside the accountability court, she said that Nawaz Sharif could not be scratched out from the hearts of the masses and the Senate and Sargodha polls had proved it, where their candidates succeeded despite depriving them of their party identity.
Lambasting the opposition parties, she said that what happened in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) was not hidden from anyone, and those alleging the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) of horse trading have turned out as the biggest horse traders. “How their candidate Chaudhry Sarwar won is not hidden from anyone and if this is not horse trading that what else is,” she added.
She said that the PML-N had emerged as the leading party of the Senate and would successfully elect its chairman in the upper house.
