Islamabad, Oct. 23 (TNS): The Senate, Upper House of the Parliament, on Monday passed a bill with a majority vote against the controversial clause in the electoral reforms law that paved way for deposed PM Nawaz Sharif to re-elected chief of his party PML-N.
Shibli Faraz presented the bill in the House.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader told the Senate that the clause, 203 (1), had allowed a person disqualified by the court from holding a public office to become a political party’s office-bearer.
He added that the clause made a mockery of the court’s verdict and so the bill presented against it should by passed by the upper house of the parliament.
Federal Law Minister Zahid Hamid opposed the bill, asserting that the opposition was taking an unconstitutional step.
