ISLAMABAD: Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani called on President Arif Alvi on Thursday and discussed with him the current political situation, particularly the no-trust motion being brought against him by the joint opposition.
Matters of mutual interests, PM Imran Khan’s successful visit to US, current political situation, opposition’s no-trust motion and other issues were discussed in the meeting.
Talking to journalists following the meeting with the president, Sadiq Sanjrani said that the Senate session on no-confidence motion will be held on August 1.
Earlier on July 21, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Jahangir Tareen had said that Sanjrani will remain the Senate chairman and had termed the no-confidence motion by opposition parties as political revenge.
“Sadiq Sanjrani is doing a good job as Senate chairman. The no-confidence motion against Sanjrani is based on political revenge,” he had added in a statement.
The PTI leader had said that several members of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) also consider no-confidence motion as political revenge.
