KARACHI: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Saturday said Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz’s (PML-N) candidate for Leader of the Opposition in Senate, Azam Nazeer Tarar, was a “controversial” choice. Bilawal said it was a parliamentary tradition and a historic fact that the single opposition party in the Senate had the right to get its candidate elected as Leader of the Opposition. “Everyone had aspired for Yousuf Raza Gillani to be the Senate chairman. There should have been no reservations in him getting elected as the Leader of the Opposition,” he said. “Our struggle against the Senate chairman election will continue and we will use our legal right.
