Ch Nisar answers if Imran Khan can become PM

Says it is not necessary people joining PTI win elections too

Islamabad (Pakistan Point News – 25th May, 2018) Former interior minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan has said that the matter regarding appointment of a caretaker prime minister will be handed over to a parliamentary committee.

Ch Nisar called on National Assembly Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq today and discussed political situation in the country.

In an informal talk with journalists after the meeting, he said that Justice (r) Tassaduq Hussain Jilani seems like the first priority.

Responding to a question, Nisar said that it is not necessary people joining Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) win elections too because every party has its own electables.

When asked if Imran Khan can become the prime minister, he said that I have the same question for you.

He said that he will contest elections from four Constituencies, including two national and two provincial constituencies. He said that my view is being encouraged in Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN) circles and 95% of the MNAs are like-minded.

The rumors regarding differences between Ch Nisar and party leadership had been making rounds on media earlier. However, Ch Nisar held a press conference early May and clarified his stance over the party.

Ch Nisar while talking about his reservations with the party said that he has been in politics for 35 years and it is not possible for him to work under Maryam Nawaz. He said that he can work under Nawaz or Shehbaz but it does not suit him to work under Maryam’s leadership. On the other hand, Nawaz gives much importance to Maryam in his politics and she is always seen besides his father in party’s public meetings. Moreover, Nisar also opposes Nawaz Sharif’s anti-establishment and anti-judiciary narrative.
