PPP Secretary General Nayyar Bukhari has again voiced reservations about PML-N’s Ishaq Dar being the leader of the house in the Senate, questioning why caretaker Prime Minister Anwaarul Haq Kakar did not pick an independent senator for the role. This is not the first time the PPP has levelled allegations against the PML-N for having a hidden alliance with current caretaker government. Earlier this month, Bukhari had raised fingers at Dar for holding his position in the Senate. “With which status, Ishaq Dar is holding the office of leader of the house in Senate. In Senate, leader of the house represents the prime minister,” Bukhari had said in a statement. Responding to a question about whether he thought the premier was involved in ministerial appointments, Bukhari instead asked who had been appointed the leader of the house in the Senate. “The rules say the leader of the house in the Senate is the prime minister’s nominee. Previously, he (Dar) was Shehbaz Sharif’s nominee. When he (Shehbaz) no longer remained the prime minister, then someone else had to assume the office.
