“We are here as a constitutional continuation for a limited period of time and we are not here to design the government model or structure,” the prime minister said while addressing the cabinet meeting here.

“The National Assembly has retired and we are waiting for the new elections,” he said adding the second arm of the parliament-the Upper House was still there but it could not do legislation alone till there was the Lower House.
He asked the cabinet members to come up with a work plan by taking briefings from their respective ministries and the next cabinet meeting agenda would be based on that work plan.
Separately, Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaarul Haq Kakar on Tuesday assured of making all- out efforts, on part of the government, for the resolution of issues of Balochistan province.

The delegation felicitated the caretaker prime minister on assuming his office and apprised him of the issues faced by the province.
