ISLAMABAD (DNA) – Following a maiden meeting of the ‘Rehbar Committee’ on Friday, the opposition parties have reached a consensus to bring a no-confidence motion against Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani on July 9 and nominate their joint candidate for the Senate chairmanship on July 11.

Rehbar Committee convener Akram Khan Durrani, the senior leader of the Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-F (JUI-F), told the media that the joint opposition had unanimously decided to start constitutional process for removal of the chairman of the Senate.

In order to protest against what the joint opposition has been calling as ‘rigged’ General Elections 2018, the committee also decided a future course-of-action against the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)-led federal government and came on a conclusion to observe July 25 as the ‘black day’.

A major public gathering is expected to be staged in Lahore on July 25.

Durrani strongly denounced what he called ‘a new political order’ was being introduced in the country, and said: “We condemn that order as it will derail democracy.”
