Islamabad: PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz attacked the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) and said it had nominated individuals for the upcoming Senate elections who were "billionaires with no connection or service to the party".

The Pakistan opposition leader also attacked the party and said these people were given tickets to use their wealth for "buying votes" in the polls.

"You have given tickets to millionaires and billionaires who have no connection or service to the party, what does it mean then?" Maryam was quoted as saying by Dawn News , adding the PTI wanted such individuals to buy votes through their resources and enter the Senate.
