Names shortlisted for caretaker PM: Nisar
ISLAMABAD: Opposition leader Chaudhry Nisar said Tuesday that the PML-N has shortlisted 8-9 names for a caretaker prime minister. Retired judges are among those shortlisted; however the list does not include anyone from Punjab.
During a news conference Nisar said the government and its allies were not sincere in forming new provinces but creating a spectacle. He added that the PPP was politicking on the name of Southern Punjab.
Nisar informed reporters that the formation of new provinces was the responsibility of the assemblies and the government had no role to play in it.
The opposition leader also alleged that President Asif Ali Zardari had bought off anchors and television channels adding that billions had been spent for election rigging.
Nisar further said that the PML-N had forced Imran Khan to declare his assets and that his party would soon publish a white paper regarding the PTI chairman.
