Jamaat-e-Islami chief Sirajul Haq on Thursday said that if horsetrading in the Senate elections was not stopped his party would be compelled to appeal to the people to besiege the houses of the assembly members who are found involved in selling their votes.

Talking to reporters at the Provincial Election Commission Khyber Pakhtunkhwa after the scrutiny of his nomination papers for Senate, Siraj said that darkening the future of the nation through sale and purchase of votes was also a form of terrorism.

He said that the Senate elections had been turned into a cattle market, adding that the Senate should not be made an elite club.
