LAHORE -UNS: The government and opposition in Punjab failed to reach agreement on appointment of caretaker Punjab Chief Minister on Friday.
The members of opposition and government parliamentary committee didn’t agree on each others proposed names for caretaker CM slot.
Now Election Commission of Pakistan will nominate caretaker CM in Punjab.
A member of government of the committee Raja Basharat said that the decisions should be made that are acceptable to the masses, while the opposition bent on two names.
The Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) leader went on to say that it has been decided that the names proposed by both the parties will now be sent to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).
The former provincial minister further said that they will approach judiciary if any controversial figure is chosen to become the caretaker CM.
PTI leader and former Punjab minister Mian Aslam Iqbal said that the one who has good character and administration experience should be made caretaker Punjab CM, adding that Ahmed Nawaz Sukhera has worked in the tenure of both PML-N and PTI.
Opposition parliamentary committee member and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Malik Muhammad Khan said that the caretaker chief minister should be chosen from among the names proposed by them and the names proposed by the government doesn’t have the ability to be made chief minister and the names proposed by the government are not eligible to be made chief minister.
Talking to media on Friday he said that unfortunately the matter could not be settled politically and he was not in favour of taking political matters to court.
Mr Khan declared Mohsin Naqvi a competent and credible person for the caretaker chief minister slot and said the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) made false cases against them.
The parliamentary leader went on to say that Chaudhry Parvez Elahi doesn’t trust the committee nominated by him, adding that he has already given a statement about moving court, but the court has nothing to do with this matter.
