Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani on Saturday invited Baloch separatists to enter the national mainstream, Express News reported.

Senate is the only institution where every province has equal representatives, Sanjrani told reporters after paying respects at Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah's mausoleum. He said the election of an independent candidate as the upper house chairman bode well for the nation.

He thanked Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, co-chairman  Asif Ali Zardari and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan on this account.  "Former prime minister Nawaz Shairf is our elder and he can say whatever he likes,” Sanjrani added.

Whoever has greatest support will become leader of the opposition, he said while commenting on the forthcoming development. I have written to all the political parties in the Senate on the election. This will happen seven days after the receipt of their replies, Sanjrani said.
