The infighting between party members over nominations for the upcoming Senate elections has resulted in the emergence of splinter groups, led by Dr Farooq Sattar and the Rabita Committee respectively. PIB's Sattar and Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui of the Bahadurabad faction have reached the ECP premises for the hearing. The intra-party election conducted by the Farooq Sattar-led PIB faction will also be brought under discussion. According to recent developments, the Bahadurabad group had refused the PIB faction's suggestion to dissolve the Rabita Committee. The former had in turn suggested the party's PIB group to constitute a parliamentary board.
