ISLAMABAD: The federal information minister Senator Shibli Faraz said Friday, as he talked to media following the election of government-backed Sadiq Sanjrani as Senate chairman, that empowering Prime Minister Imran Khan is crucial to ensure supremacy of law and order, ARY News reported.
Shibli Faraz asserted the politics of joint opposition alliance Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) is now dead and buried and since the country cannot afford to regress now, it is necessary that we support the prime minister.
The federal minister said their nominated Senate chairman candidate Sanjrani has won today even when the opposition perpetrated the propaganda of spy cameras installed in the upper house.
What they did in the National Assembly, happened to them in Senate, he said.
Those who want progress for the country have won, Faraz said, adding that the PM with the sincerest intentions for the prosperity for Pakistan was blessed with divine support.
