Caretaker PM still not finalized as meeting between Abbasi, Shah went undecided

This was the sixth meeting between the two which also went undecided.

Islamabad (Pakistan Point News – 22nd May, 2018) The name of caretaker prime minister has not yet been finalized as today’s meeting between Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and Opposition Leader Khurshid Shah also went undecided.

The name of caretaker prime minister could not be finalized today. Opposition leader Shah said that they will meet again in one or two days and the name of caretaker prime minister will probably be decided then. He said that we are trying to resolve the matter in Parliament.

The government has not forced on any names. Prime Minister Abbasi endorsed the Names given by Pakistan People’s Party (PPP). This was the sixth meeting between the two which also went undecided.

Earlier, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN) had suggested three names to Abbasi for caretaker prime minister. These include Justice Nasir ul Milk, Tassaduq Hussain Jilani and Ishrat Hussain. Sources in PMLN said that all three names are on merit. These three people have a nice repute and have served on their positions with honesty and dignity.

The names suggested by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) also include Tassaduq Jilani and Ishrat Hussain. Hence, a consensus between PTI and PMLN is expected over the name.

The PPP had suggested Jalil Abbas Jilani and Zaka Ashraf for caretaker prime minister.
