Qaiser pressed that the promotion of democratic norms should not lose moral ground.
The speaker further stated that he had constituted a committee comprising members from both the treasury and opposition benches to probe into the unpleasant incidents that took place both inside and outside parliament house during the day of the vote.
Meanwhile, Minister for Information and Broadcasting Shibli Faraz expressed hope that Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani, being a visionary and dynamic politician, would win the slot again with clear majority.
Talking to a private news channel, he said that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has nominated Sanjrani for the top Senate slot as he is a man of credibility has run the Senate smoothly and effectively during the last three years.
Faraz said that the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) is divided on the nomination of Syed Yousaf Raza Gillani as its candidate, who had won his Senate seat through horse-trading and use of money.
