PML-N, JUI-F question Gillani's appointment as Opposition Leader in Senate

ISLAMABAD (92 News) – Opposition divided into two groups in Senate as the PML-N and the JUI-F raised questions over PPP leader Yousaf Raza Gillani’s appointment as the opposition leader in the Upper House.

It is pertinent to mention here that the opposition has been surfaced into two groups in the Senate.

Speaking to the session of the Senate, PML-N Senator Azam Nazeer Tarar said that the 27 members of his group will continue to perform their role as a separate opposition. He also expressed sorrow over the leader of the opposition in the upper house.

The PML-N leader also alleged that five presents were sent to get Yousaf Raza Gillani appointed as the opposition leader. PPP protested over Azam Nazeer Tarar’s remarks and said it is not appropriate to say presents were given for the appointment of the opposition leader.

A ruckus was created in the Senate afterwards as the PPP senators voiced their support for Yousaf Raza Gillani. Meanwhile, independent members accused Azam Tarar for spoiling the atmosphere of the house.
