*ISLAMABAD - Opposition Leader in the National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif has said that it was “Ameer Tareen’s magic that worked in the Senate today”.*
The comment came in reaction to the failure of the opposition’s no-confidence motion against Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani.
Sanjrani retained his seat as the Senate chairman after only 50 senators voted against him despite 64 senators asking for a vote. The opposition needed at least 53 votes to de-seat Sanjrani.
Shehbaz lamented the same while speaking to reporters in Islamabad. He said 64 members stood in favour of the motion, but then 14 votes were not polled.
