Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Senator Nawabzada Lashkari Raisani on Thursday said the PPP and its allied parties had foiled all bids of horse-trading in the Senate elections which, according to him, was a major milestone in the countrys democratic history.
"The people of Pakistan want to give five years to the newly-elected government and the nation is not desperate," he said while talking to the journalists here at the Parliament House. He said it was a tradition of the senate that a technocrat is elected as Chairman Senate and the nomination of Farooq H. Naek was also in the same approach. Brushing aside all rumours of any intra-party rift over the nomination of Farooq Naek as a candidate for the slot of Chairman Senate, Raisani said proper consultation process was followed prior to the nomination of Farooq Naek.
