PTI-backed senator and head of Majlis-e-Wahdat-e-Muslimeen,
Allama Raja Nasir Abbas, has been appointed as the opposition leader in the
Senate.
Chairman of the Senate Yousaf Raza Gilani stated that Raja
Nasir Abbas has the support of 22 out of 32 opposition members. The chairman of
the Senate has the authority to declare the opposition leader; therefore, I
declare Senator Nasir Abbas as the leader of the opposition.
The chairman of the Senate said that the matter of the
notification of the opposition leader remained in the Senate Secretariat; the
delay was due to the judicial procedure, now I will act according to the rules.
It should be remembered that the seat of the opposition
leader had become vacant due to the disqualification of Shibli Faraz.
