Ruckus over bid to subvert senate elections

 LAHORE: Punjab unification block leader, Tahir Javed, by suggesting Punjab Chief Minister, Shabaz Sharif to dissolve the provincial assembly in a bid to stem the senate elections, has aroused spontaneous uproars in the country’s politicking.

People’s Party former law minister, Babar Awan bluntly said, “Gone are the days when Khalil Khan used to fly doves---now it cannot happen so.

Unification block is a group that parted ways with the Muslim League-Q, maintains a separate identity in the Punjab assembly and supports the Muslim League-N.

The leader of this unification block, Tahir Javed proposed to the Punjab Chief Minister, Shahbaz Sharif to dissolve Punjab assembly prior to the senate elections for paving way for holding general elections in the country.

Tajir Javed’s salvo hit the target and PPP Babar Awan immediately jumping to the fray declared this proposal undoable. He said that gone are the days when Khalil Khan used to fly the doves.

Legal expert, S. M. Zafar said that dissolving the assembly was within the powers of the chief minister. He said that whatever may be intention, Tahir Javed has let loose a new debate by giving his proposal.
