Last day for #Shehbaz, #RajaRiaz to finalise name of #caretaker #primeminister
ISLAMABAD (MNP) – Today is the last day for Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Opposition Leader Raja Riaz to finalise the name of caretaker prime minister. If the name is not finalised, the matter will go to the parliamentary committee.
It has been three days since the National Assembly was dissolved, but it has yet to be decided that who will be the caretaker prime minister. President Dr Arif Alvi has also asked both PM Shehbaz and Opposition leader Raja Riaz to give a consensus name for caretaker prime minister today.
The prime minister made consultations with the allies on Friday night to decide a consensus candidate for the caretaker PM slot. Sharif said that he had spoken to Raja Riaz for appointment of caretaker prime minister and would talk more talks with him today (Saturday).
He also criticised the President and said that it was a pity that the president wrote to him for the appointment of caretaker prime minister. There were eight days for this appointment, he said.
On the other hand, Prime Minister Sharif has supported the idea of contesting election making seat adjustments with the allied parties.
