The committee having the representation of all opposition parties would sort out their mutual differences and ensure implementation of the APC decisions.
Talking about the committer after the APC in the presser, Fazlur Rehman had said that the opposition parties will replace Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani through a constitutional procedure. A steering committee – comprising members from all parties – would be mandated to name a joint candidate. “The committee will be called Rehbar Committee, it will implement the APC decisions,” he said.
