Sanaullah has expressed fear that parliamentary committee will also fail in solving the issue.
LAHORE (Dunya News) - Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) failed to reach a consensus on appointment of caretaker chief minister (CM) in Punjab after which the matter has been sent to the Parliamentary Committee.
As per details garnered, former Punjab law minister Rana Sanaullah stated that matter has been forwarded to Parliamentary Committee whereas former opposition leader in Punjab Assembly Mian Mehmoodur Rasheed stated that PTI has forwarded names to speaker for constitution of Parliamentary Committee.
Meanwhile, Sanaullah has expressed fear that parliamentary committee will also fail in solving the issue. In this case, the final verdict in the matter will be made by Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).
On the other hand, the sixth meeting between Balochistan Chief Minister bdul Quddus Bizenjo and ex-opposition leader Abdul Rahim Ziaratwal to nominate Balochistan’s caretaker chief minister failed to make any headway.
Two former Balochistan chief ministers Sanaullah Zehri and Dr Abdul Malik Baloch also attended the sixth meeting. Former provincial ministers Sheikh Jaffar Khan Mandokhel and Obaidullah Babit also attended the meeting.
The issue to appoint Balochistan’s caretaker chief minister has now been sent to the Parliamentary Committee. Balochistan government and opposition will forward two names each to the Parliamentary Committee for the slot of caretaker chief minister and if it fails to select a candidate, the matter would be sent to the Election Commission of Pakistan.
Meanwhile, the Election Commission of Pakistan will decide about the nomination of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s caretaker chief minister.
