Though the threat of succession of the no-confidence motion against Balochistan Chief Minister Jam Kamal has not been ended, Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani Sunday succeeded to neutralize Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) members.
According to the 24News HD TV channel, Sanjrani has been succeeded in his mission to thwarting the no-confidence motion against the CM of the majority party in the Balochistan Assembly, the Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) with 24 legislators.
During his visit to Quetta on Sunday, the Senate chairman made contacts with the ruling party members and impressed them in favour of continuing their support to the sitting CM Jam Kamal Khan Alyani.
The Senate chairman ensured the annoyed members of the PTI that their concerns would be addressed within the next 15 days so they should not be a part of the no-confidence motion against the Balochistan CM.
Later, Sanjrani also held a meeting with Sardar Akhtar Khan Mengal, Head of the Balochistan National Party-Mengal group (BNP-M) at his residence. The BNP-M has 10 seats in the Balochistan Assembly and is a part of the opposition alliance right now.
Sanjrani condoled with the BNP-M chief over the demise of his father, veteran political figure of left-wing in Pakistan Sardar Atta Ullah Khan Mengal.
After the meeting, the Senate chairman left for Karachi
Pertinent to mention here that treasury benches have a total of 41 seats against the opposition who has only 23 seats in the Balochistan Assembly. The PTI has only seven seats and is a part of the government alliance. There is one independent legislator in the house too.
