ISLAMABAD: Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani formed a 14-member special committee to probe PTI Senator Azam Swati’s allegations of an objectionable video, which he claimed his wife had received.

Committee comprising Azam Naziz Tarar, Mohsin Aziz, Yousaf Raza Gilani, Abdul Ghafoor Haideri, Anwarul Haq Kakar, Faisal Sabzwari, Tahir Bizenjo, Shafique Tarin, Senator Mushtaque, Senator Qasim, Muzaffar Shah, Hidayatullah, Kamil Ali Agha and Dilawar Khan will investigate matter and will submit a report within 30 days.

In a statement, Chairman Senate Sadiq Sanjrani strongly condemned privacy violation of Azam Swati, saying that Senator’s press conference had caused pain and revelations about videos are ‘unfortunate’.  

“PTI Senator is an honest and respectable personality”, Sanjrani said, noting that he made arrangements for them [Swati and his wife] at Supreme Court’s judicial lodges in Quetta. He maintained that all senators were respectable and like family without distinction. “As a Muslim and Baloch, I am well aware of moral values,” he said, announcing formation of a committee to probe release of video.
