About this paper
A Sir Adnan one-page table headed 'Chairmen of Senate of Pakistan (1973-2026) / TABLE - (PPSC/FPSC NEW TREND 2025-26)' from the monster-data 'PMS SCREENING 2026 GK UPDATED' pack (1 p). The table as printed is NOT reliable and was not converted as-is: it invents a Rafiq Tarar chairmanship (1999-2000) and a second Wasim Sajjad term (2000-2003) - Tarar was President 1998-2001, and Wasim Sajjad's single continuous tenure ran 1988-1999 before the Senate's suspension after the October 1999 coup - it omits Nayyar Hussain Bukhari (2012-2015) entirely, it splits Mian Raza Rabbani into two rows (2013-2015 and 2015-2018) when he held one tenure (2015-2018), and it stretches Farooq H. Naek to 2009-2013 instead of 2009-2012. This file publishes 11 MCQs with the STANDARD record as the answer in every case, each discrepancy flagged in keyFlag: first chairman Habibullah Khan, longest-serving Wasim Sajjad, Ghulam Ishaq Khan 1985-1988, Soomro 2003-2009, Naek 2009-2012 (corrected), Bukhari 2012-2015 (restored), Rabbani 2015-2018 (un-split), Sanjrani 2018-2024, Gillani since April 2024, Senate established 1973, and the Chairman acting as President when the office is vacant. The booklet's 'first elected Chairman after 18th Amendment era: Raza Rabbani' bullet was dropped (Bukhari, elected 2012, followed the 2010 18th Amendment), and its 'Khan Abdul Jabbar Khan 1977-1978' row was dropped as it does not appear in the official chairman list (the Senate was dissolved after the July 1977 coup until 1985).
