LAHORE (92 News) – Following the appointment of Yousaf Raza Gillani’s for Opposition Leader in the Senate, PML-N senior leader Ahsan Iqbal stressed that the one who betrayed the PDM’s cause will pay heavy price.

Addressing a press conference along with PML-N leader Rana Sanaullah, Ahsan Iqbal said Yousaf Raza Gillani’s application for Opposition Leader in the Senate was a blow to the goals, struggle and unity of the PDM. "The ANP also took a unilateral decision against the PDM's decision," he added.

"Specific senators with whose support the required number was obtained. Everyone knows about they vote on whose directions. If the PPP people had compelled Nawaz Sharif, he would have happily given him the post of the Senate opposition leader," the former interior minister maintianed.
