ISLAMABAD: The PTI has offered Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Fazl (JUI-F) the post of deputy chairman Senate.
Defence Minister Pervaiz Khattak said that the ruling party has told senior JUI-F leader Abdul Ghafoor Haideri that he can be the deputy chairman Senate.
The development was confirmed by the minister after he met the JUI-F leader with Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani.
Reacting to the news, PML-N's Punjab president Rana Sanaullah said the move by the government seemed to be an attempt to cause a rift within the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM).
"The JUI-F is bound by the decisions of the PDM," he noted. "Maulana Fazlur Rehman chaired a meeting yesterday and it had been agreed with a consensus to nominate Yousaf Raza Gillani as the alliance's joint candidate for the Senate chairman elections," he said.
Sanaullah added that a committee headed by Shahid Khaqan Abbasi had been formed to select the nominee for the Senate deputy chairman post. The PML-N leader said that according to his information, the committee had picked Haideri's name as its nominee for the post as well.
