With the leadership of the two main opposition parties behind bars on corruption charges, the opposition in the Senate is set to submit a no-trust motion against Sadiq Sanjrani, the chairman, on Tuesday (today) as a first step towards mounting pressure on the PTI-led coalition government.
The submission of the motion will precede a meeting of senators belonging to the opposition to thrash out a strategy for the no-confidence motion. The meeting will be chaired by the Leader of the Opposition in the Senate, Raja Zafarul Haq, who had lost to Sanjrani in last year’s polls for the office of Senate chairman.
The decision to convene the meeting was taken after National Party (NP) leader Mir Hasil Khan Bijenjo called on Raja Zafarul Haq on Monday.
Talking to reporters after meeting Mr Haq, the NP leader said: “We discussed a strategy for the no-confidence motion.”
