ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) senior leader Asad Umar berated on Sunday political opponents over their nominations for caretaker Punjab chief minister.

Mr Umar stated on Twitter, "It is better to elect Nawaz Sharif or Asif Ali Zardari than to make the imported government’s front men as caretaker Punjab CM."

ECP s compromise on caretaker CM to turn Punjab into elections graveyard: Sh Rashid

AML chief and former federal interior minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed on Sunday warned that Punjab could become the graveyard for elections if the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) made any compromise on the appointment of the caretaker chief minister.

Taking to Twitter, he made it clear that there was no further room for mistakes. He feared that Asif Ali Zardari s pocket and the hand stick of game changers [what he was referring to the establishment], would turn the elections into a selection.

The former minister indicated extremely serious situation of the country, saying the country was heading towards the civil war as the people had been deprived of buying flour and seeking space for their graves.

Rashid said he was returning to Pakistan tomorrow (Monday).
