Govt didn’t ‘ #nominate or reject’ Dar as #caretaker PM, #Sanaullah
ISLAMABAD (MNP) – No one in the government had proposed Finance Minister Ishaq Dar’s name for caretaker prime minister, said Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah.
Speaking at a local TV programme, the interior minister said, “It is a rumour that Dar’s name was suggested or rejected by the government.” He said talks were under way about whether a bureaucrat or a politician could be appointed to the coveted post.
“If the consensus is developed, the caretaker prime minister can either be Ishaq Dar or any other politician from any party,” he said.He, however, added that efforts would be made to appoint a caretaker PM acceptable to all.
About return of PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif, the minister said it was a wrong assumption that the incumbent government had any authority to allow Nawaz to stage a comeback in politics.
