Opp again exposed by nominating Gillani as joint candidate: Murad.

ISLAMABAD -- Federal Minister for Communications and Postal Services Murad Saeed Sunday said the opposition was once again exposed by opposing open ballot for Senate elections and nominating Yousaf Raza Gilani as a joint candidate for Islamabad seat. Addressing a press conference here at PID, he said the opposition opposed open ballot as it wanted continuation of corrupt system. He said the PTI believed in transparency in elections and hoped that his party would emerge victorious in upcoming Senate polls. He said PTI tabled constitutional amendment in the parliament to change system of secret ballot by holding Senate polls through open vote in order to end horse-trading. Murad added that opposition did not cooperate for the purpose. He said it had proved that opposition was not serious in bringing transparency in electoral process. The minister said the people had rejected the negative politics of the opposition in Gilgit-Baltistan elections and by not participating in their public rallies held in different cities. The politics was business for the leadership of these parties, he said and added that they came into politics with the support of dictators. He astonished that how the sons of PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif become billionaires in such an early age when they have no CNIC.

He claimed that the opposition was trying to get NRO from the government, but Prime Minister Imran Khan would never give them any relief.

He said the government had refused for giving NRO to opposition despite their blackmailing tactics during FATF related legislation. The opposition proposed various amendments in NAB laws to get relief during the discussion on FATF related legislation, the minister mentioned.
