On Saturday, the PDM’s big three – Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Co-chairman Asif Zardari, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman – held a telephonic conversation to discuss the Senate election result. Even more surprising was the 54-44 result of election for the post of the deputy chairman. During the discussion, Zardari, Sharif and Fazl agreed to investigate the opposition senators, suspected of being close to Senate Chairman Sanjrani. Meanwhile, Fazl wondered how the government candidate got all the seven votes in the election of deputy chairman that were rejected in the chairman’s elections. “The strategy regarding the long march and the resignations issue will be discussed in the upcoming PDM’s meeting,” the lawmaker added.
