In a released video, multiple members of the parliament, including him, were allegedly seen “horse trading” in Senate Election 2018. The video surfaced on 9th Feb, 2021 by the government just before a month of new senate elections. Although it put some skepticism on the fairness of Elections, further proof was never released nor was any action taken, which led citizens to question the validity of the video and the hands behind the release of it.
