Reacting to ANP’s hard-hitting presser, JUI-F’s secretary-general Senator Maulana Abdul Ghafoor Haideri said there were several ways to caving in and selling out.
“This is the most humiliating move in political history … ANP and PPP’s actions have led to the world laughing at us,” the JUI-F senator said.
Haideri warned ANP it had made a “blatant” mistake after blaming PDM chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman for lacking leadership.
Similarly, PML-N spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb said ANP had made several sacrifices for the cause of democracy, as she expressed sorrow over their departure.
However, she said PPP’s decision to get their member elected as the Opposition leader in Senate was against the PDM’s September 20 Charter — as they got support from treasury benches, and ANP backed them.
However, Aurangzeb reminded that the PDM had decided the Opposition leader would be from PML-N.
“If Gilani would have come back to PDM after his loss as Senate chairman …. then Nawaz Sharif would not have turned down his request to become the Opposition leader.
