Islamabad, April 10: After nominations to the post of Prime Minister of Pakistan closed yesterday evening, fight is just one-sided between Shehbaz Sharif of PML(N) supported by PPP with entire opposition behind and Imran’s PTI fielding Shah Mehmood Qureshi, it’s going to be a lame duck show in Pak Assembly today. Shehbaz is going to be nominated as next Prime Minister of Pakistan with hidden hand of support of Army Chief Bajwa and his top brass.
Pakistan’s Ex-information minister and senior Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Fawad Chaudhry on Sunday announced that the party’s members would resign en-masse from the National Assembly on Monday. The decision to resign was tied up with the acceptance of Pakistan Muslim League (N) President Shehbaz Sharif’s nomination papers for prime minister’s elections, PTI had raised objections. In a later development, the NA Secretariat rejected the objections and accepted Shehbaz’s nomination, the Dawn reported. PTI’s Central Core Executive Committee meeting was held in Bani Gala with former Pakistan PM Imran Khan and “the whole situation was analyzed” there, Chaudhry said while speaking to the media in the national capital. The committee suggested to Imran Khan that the PTI should resign from the assemblies starting with the NA, he said. “If our objections to Shehbaz Sharif’s (nomination) papers are not addressed, then we will resign tomorrow,” he said. The National Assembly session to elect the new premier will be held at 2pm today.
