CareTaker Prime Misister -- Nasir Aslam Zahid Or Dr Isharat Hussain?








The attempts to reach to consensus on the name of caretaker prime minister and to dissolve assemblies on one day have entered in decisive phase. However, Nasir Aslam Zahid seems to be a strong candidate for the office. Asif Zardari and Nawaz Sharif both want to decide the name by the politicians, otherrwise the decision can slip from their hands and may go to some "Poweful Hands" whose decision can not be denied. The PTI, MQM, JuI and ANP have already agreed on the name of Nassir Aslam Zahid. The other strongest candidate is Dr Ishrat Hussain andWorld Financial Institutions also favor his name. Now, it be seen that World Financial institutions can win or political leadership, as weak leadership of Pakistan could never decide on national issues and commonds come from remote corner. It is learnt that one friendly Arab coountry is pressing PML(N) to withdraw the decision of opposing the name of Hafeez Sheikh that he could be caretaker PM. If government and opposition could not jointly decide tbhe name of caretaker PM then the matter will be referred to parliamentary committee nominated by both the govt and the opposition. If committee could not reach to ther decision then Election Commission will it self be empowered by constitution to nominate the PM. Chaudhry Nisar opposed all the three nominees og government, according to him Hafeez Sheikh had been Finance Minister only 15 days ago, Mir Hazar Khan has been the close aide of BaNazir (the late), while Ishrat Hussain was a technocrate. However, opposition has withdrawn the name of Justice (Rtd) Shakir Ullah Jan as his retirement date may be challenged due to legal complications that will affect the whole process of election.
