The presence of alleged ‘spy cameras’ over the polling booth for the election for Senate chairman and deputy chairman became an apple of discord between the government and opposition and members from both sides trolled each other.
The alleged ‘spy cameras’ were spotted over the polling booth in the Senate when newly-elected lawmakers sworn in on Friday.
Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and Musadik Malik of Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) found the camera and questioned their installation at a sensitive spot on the polling day.

The minister also asked the related officials to do it at the earliest as both lawmakers may uproot entire wiring of CCTV cameras in the Senate.
