During a fiery speech made on the floor of the Sindh Assembly on Thursday, Talpur had said: “The member who sold the vote to PPP during the Senate election is still sitting in the assembly.”The ECP has summoned Talpur to appear before the commission on October 4. Earlier in the day, Minister for Information and Broadcasting Chaudhry Fawad Hussain had appealed ECP to take notice of Talpur’s ‘confession’. The minister said that politicians are considered as role models in most democratic countries but such attitude of some politicians had earned a bad name for the political parties in the country. Several political parties had accused each other of resorting to horse-trading and purchasing votes in the March 3 Senate polls and had called for an investigation into the matter by the ECP and courts. While the ECP had summoned members of various political parties who had made such allegations, interestingly, no one from the PPP was called in to be part of the investigation.
