Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani has summoned a session of the Upper House of Parliament for next week at the request of the Opposition’s lawmakers.
The Opposition says it wants to discuss “political vendetta” against it on December 30. The senators will also talk about recently held Gilgit Baltistan elections and the ongoing electricity and gas crisis.
Opposition leader in the Senate Raja Zafar-ul-Haq said they had submitted a new request after the Senate Secretariat returned down the first one. It was filed by the Opposition amid Deputy Chairman Senate Saleem Mandviwala’s tussle with the NAB chairman.
On Sunday, Mandvi-walla had threatened that warrants can be issued to summon anyone before the Senate and if NAB Chairman Justice (retd) Javed Iqbal does not appear before the Senate, warrants for him will be issued.
