رشوت لینے والے تو پکڑے گئے، اب میڈیا سے درخواست ہے تھوڑی سی تحقیق کریں کے 2018 میں ان ووٹوں سے کون سینیٹر بنا؟ کیا ان دو سینیٹرز کو ایوان میں رہنے کا حق ہے؟ الیکشن کمیشن بھی اپنی ذمہ داری پوری کرے اور آرٹیکل 63 کے تحت کاروائ عمل میں لائے

“Do those two Senators have the right to remain in the House? The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) should fulfill its duty and take action under the Article 63,” the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader added.
It is pertinent here to mention that a video of horse-trading during the Senate elections in 2018 by some provincial lawmakers emerged on Tuesday. The lawmakers can be seen counting bundles of notes and putting them inside a bag.
