In a released video by the Pakistan Tehreek Insaf, multiple members of the parliament, were allegedly seen “horse trading” in Senate Election 2018. While clarifying his presence in one of the many videos where he was sitting across the table, he said that the video was recorded in Asad Qaiser’s home, further he said that as a parliamentary leader of PPP it was his duty to go and ask for vote from any party. Pakistan Tehreek Insaf never held any inquiry on the alleged video. The video surfaced on 9th Feb, 2021 by the government just before a month of new senate elections. Although it put some skepticism on the fairness of Elections, further proof was never released nor was any action taken, which led citizens to question the validity of the video and the hands behind the release of it.
