Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Shibli Faraz on Sunday said the opposition wanted to perpetuate a corrupt electoral system in the country.
In order to maintain transparency and end horse-trading, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Sunday said that the government wanted to hold Senate elections through open ballot.
"If someone having courage to stand as per his or her conscience, should come in open," the top state lawyer said. "A person should not be disqualified if he or she votes against the party line," AG argued.
In 2010 the 18th Constitutional Amendment was passed but no clause added to the promised legislation for preventing horse trading in the senate election the attorney general said.
PM Khan said that the opposition itself is a big hurdle in carrying out transparent polls and added that denial of Senate through open ballot shows that they want to steal Senate elections through horsetrading.
