Talking to media-persons in Multan on Saturday, Fazl said that the alleged horse-trading in Senate elections was regretful as it harmed the masses’ trust in the democratic set up.
Condemning the hurling of shoes on political leaders, he termed it unethical action and warned that no one will be spared if such kind of deed continues.

JUI-F central leader Maulana Ghafoor Haideri told reporters said that misunderstandings were being created regarding the JUI-F’s role in the Senate polls and added that the PML-N should take action against its party dissident rather than blaming others.
