The PPP had provided financial assistance to 4.8 million people during their tenure. Chief of Pakhtunkhwa Milli Awami Party Mehmood Khan Achakzai said, he was being portrayed as traitor. Certain tv anchors were leveling baseless allegations against him.

Such baseless allegations, he added pinched him very much. He asked the chair to allocate reasonable time to discuss horse trading allegations being leveled against Senate elections.
