ISLAMABAD:  Senate chairman Sadiq Sanjrani has decided against resigning from his post over the bid of joint opposition to move a no-confidence motion in the Upper House of Parliament to oust him.

Senate chairman stayed determined on not stepping down from his seat saying that Speaker and Senate Chairman are neutral and he wants to see if they can make an independent and neutral decision for the custodian of the House.

Sadiq Sanjrani issued a statement expressing that the option of secret voting by the members ensures impartiality for the Chairman Senate and the Speaker in the decision making.

He asserted that the think tanks, who structured the constitution, made the option of secret balloting after putting effort and thoughts in it for 20 days. “I ran the House impartially and want to see if members can decide freely as their conscience allow,” he added.
