PESHAWAR: Chief Minister Balochistan, Abdul Quddus Bizenjo along with a delegation of Senators called on the Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pervez Khattak at the Pakhtunkhwa House, Islamabad Friday.

PTI leaders Shah Mahmud Qurieshi, Asad Umar, Jahangir Tarin, Senators Syed Shebli Faraz. Mohsin Aziz, Speaker KP Assembly Asad Qaisar, senators like Ayub Afridi, Azam Swati, Fida Muhammad Khan, Numan Wazir, Brig. (R) John Kenneth Williams and others were also present. Chief Minister Balochistan was accompanied by all the newly elected senators of his group/party.

Senator Aurangzeb Khan from FATA was also present on the occasion. They discussed matters of mutual importance particularly those related to the upcoming election of the Chairman and Deputy Chairman Senate.

Chief Minister and PTI delegation informed the delegation from Balochistan that in the larger interest of the Federation of Pakistan, PTI has decided to unanimously and unconditionally support a candidate from Balochistan in the Senate election for the chairmanship and from FATA for the Deputy Chairmanship.

Therefore, it is now upto the Senators from Balochistan and FATA to get the support of PPP for themselves.

They were also assured that PTI will make efforts to convince other like-minded groups of senators and political parties to support this proposal in view of the sense of deprivation among the people of Balochistan and the sacrifices of the people of FATA.

Therefore, it was decided that they will discuss this proposal with other political parties and soon meet again to make a consensus decision.
