With less than 24 hours to go, another controversy has come to the fore regarding the Senate elections.
A leaked video of Ali Haider Gillani – son of former Prime Yousaf Raza Gillani – was aired by ARY News, where he is heard talking about how to waste Senate vote.
It seems that the other person is from the ruling party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). According to reports, the video was recorded a week ago.
Addressing a press conference after the leaked video was aired, Ali Haider Gillani admitted the video was real and that he met more than one MNA over the course of campaigning for his father.
He said he was not buying votes but was telling PTI member of how to waste his vote as that member did not want to vote for his own party.
“Where do I talk about money in the video? I did no wrong. This is to distract us.”
The Election Commission of Pakistan has taken notice of the video and Gillani’s response and will be taking up the issue.
Yousaf Raza Gillani will face Finance Minister Abdul Hafeez Sheikh in the Senate elections.
