PakistanPML-N withdraws Justice (retd) Shakirullah Jan's candidature for caretaker PM

ISLAMABAD: Opposition Leader in National Assembly Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan announced on Friday that the name of Justice (retd) Shakirullah Jan has been withdrawn from the opposition’s list of nominees for caretaker prime minister, Dispatch News Desk (DND) reported.

Talking to media, Nisar said he would write a letter to Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf in which only two names – Justice (retd) Nasir Aslam Zahid and Rasool Bux Palejo – would be proposed again.

   

Nisar said that there would be no compromise on the caretaker prime minister and chief minister of Punjab. He added that he had objections over the names proposed by the government.

“One nominee was the finance minister 15 days ago, Justice (retd) Khoso was close to Benazir Bhutto and Ishrat Husain does not meet the criteria for caretaker PM,” he said.

The government has proposed the names of Abdul Hafeez Shaikh, Dr Ishrat Husain and Justice (retd) Hazar Khan Khoso.

The sources said that the PML-N will push Justice (retd) Nasir Aslam Zahid for caretaker prime minister if the issue of appointment is sent to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).
