ISLAMABAD: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Wednesday urged the Supreme Court and the Election Commission to take notice of the statement made by Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Shibli Faraz.

Addressing a news conference, Sindh Education Minister Saeed Ghani said that his party has urged the Supreme Court and the ECP to take notice of the statement of Shibli Faraz.

Shibli Faraz speaking on a private TV news channel Tuesday had said that the government will not follow any rule and will do anything to get Sadiq Sanjrani elected as the Senate Chairman.

Ghani said that after Shibli’s statement, it has become clear that ideology of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) is nothing but “use of illegal means to get success in the elections.”

“The PTI is so perplexed after losing Senate seat from Islamabad that they have lost their minds; they are going to every institution to stop Syed Yousuf Raza Gillani from contesting Chairman Senate election but are facing defeat from every forum. This is because Gillani is a candidate of Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) which has clear majority in the Senate,” he said.

The minister said that the PDM candidates for Chairman and Deputy Chairman Senate will win their elections easily and PTI will again lick their wounds.

Ghani claimed that PTI's own members have accused their party of awarding party tickets in return of Rs700 million in Balochistan and rupees Rs350 million in Sindh. He also claimed that the PTI is the same party which used money in its own intra-party elections, adding if you hear any financial misappropriation in elections, PTI people’s involvement in it is a must.
