The PML-N screening committee on Tuesday conducted interviews of some applicants to finalise names of its ticket holders for the upcoming Senate elections.
The committee headed by Zafarul Haq also included Ishaq Dar, Opposition Leader Nisar Ali, Khawaja Asif, Saad Rafique and Mehtab Abbasi. The party’s top hierarchy held a detailed meeting with Punjab CM Shahbaz Sharif at the Punjab House. Afterwards, the committee interviewed some of applicants from Islamabad, including former PPP senator Enver Baig, PML-Q Senator Naeem Hussain Chattha and others. According to sources, the committee interviewed turncoats from major political parties, including the PPP and PML-Q. “Although the PML-N leadership has been terming its rebels as turncoats who have joined Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf but its leadership is all set to give tickets to people such as Haroon Akhtar, Naeem Chattha, Enver Baig, etc. After the interviews, the committee would forward a list of around a dozen names to party chief Nawaz Sharif for final approval,” sources said.
According to sources, aspirants for PML-N tickets included PML-N Punjab President Zulfiqar Khosa, Secretary General Iqbal Zafar Jhagra, former MNA M Hamza, Saeed Mehdi, Siddiqul Farooq, Barrister Zafarulah, former minister Ghulam Dastgir Khan, PML-Q Senator Haroon Akhtar Khan, Ishaq Dar, PML-Q Senator Gulshan Saeed and Muhammed Mehdi. “Former PPP MNA Tariq C Qaiser and PML-N MNA Nelson Azeem have applied for Senate tickets for minorities while Seema Jilani, Ayesha Javed and others have applied on women seats,” sources said.
i think it is a legal an lawful way for senate elections and i hope pml n give preferance to pml n old workers which are on merit
PML-N gives senate tickets to elite class. Those people who left pml-n during musharraf era have reached to recievd PML-N tickets. Mr. M.hamza said in a statement after 12 october action That Nawaz Sharif should be hanged. Mr Zafar Dhandla Applied tickets for PML-Q in 2002 and 2008 but now he will be the member of senate from PML-N. PML-N leadership talk on youngsters very much but all ticket holders have crossed the age of 60 minimum. On the other hand, PPP gives ticket to his loyals ,old and young workers who never left PPP. Aslam gill was a president of PPP, Lahore in 1986.
M. Hamza is one the loyal and intelligent person in PML (N). He is the only politician in Senate which belongs to middle class family. He still used Bicycle to went to market for his needs. Can you bring a single example from current politician like this.
Senate should be based on those workers which is sensiable and should have vision to look in future. They can belong to any political family.
They are not here to do the labor work and suppose to be young to perform this task.
PML (N) make sensiable decision with regard to this matter.
