PESHAWAR: Chief Minister’s Advisor on Information Barrister Saif has criticised the rejection of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) hopefuls’ nomination papers for Senate elections.

In a statement, he said the nomination papers of PTI Senate candidates were rejected on frivolous grounds.He said prominent figures like Zulfi Bukhari, Murad Saeed, and Azam Swati were excluded from the Senate race, and alleged that it aimed at hindering genuine representation.
