ISLAMABAD: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leaders have expressed their concerns over a potential conspiracy within the record room of the National Assembly (NA), due to which the CCTV video of the assembly building could be destroyed to hide the issue of spy cameras found hidden in the polling booth.
The PPP leaders Faisal Karim Kundi, Senators Palwasha Khan and Rubina Khalid expressed this concern while addressing a press conference at PPP media office Islamabad on Sunday.
Faisal Karim Kundi said that PPP has formed a legal team, comprising Senator Farooq Naek, Senator Raza Rabbani, Sardar Latif Khosa and Syed Nayyer Hussain Bukhari, to file a petition within the next few days on the issue of election of the Senate chairman.
“The fact is that Syed Yousaf Raza Gillani has been elected as Senate chairman but he was deprived of his victory as it was stolen. Presiding Officer Syed Muzaffar Hussain Shah committed a crime,” Kundi said.
He maintained that the government spokespersons are needlessly holding press conferences one after the other about cracks in Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), however, their wish will never materialise.
PPP, on the occasion, also expressed its gratitude to all the senators who remained steadfast and voted for Gillani as the PDM candidate. Kundi claimed that the issue of spy cameras was far bigger than the Watergate scandal.
He also alleged that Information Minister Shibli Faraz told lies about the country’s economy because the common citizens of Pakistan are facing poverty, hunger, unemployment and are forced to commit suicide.
He further said that there is a competition between Faraz and Murad Saeed over who can most use foul language.
Senator Palwasha said that all the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) spokespersons waste their time when criticising PDM because their own members attempt to contact the chairman PPP on WhatsApp. These names will be disclosed at the appropriate time, he added.
She said that hypocrites and political garbage have been gathered in PTI and it has become a dump of political garbage of Pakistan. The government is planning to increase petroleum prices and people are suffering hugely due to the resulting inflation, she added.
The prime minister, who has taken a vote of confidence from the same members, who according to him have sold their votes, is now giving a lecture on morality, she further said.
