After getting air of Pakistan People’s Party-led government’s plan to retain the chairmanship of Public Accounts Committee in case of incumbent chairman Ch. Nisar Ali Khan’s resignation, the Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) leadership has deferred its earlier decision of quitting the slot forthwith, reported an English daily.
Sources aware of the development taking place on this front said that when the matter of Nisar’s decision to quit the slot of PAC chairmanship came up for discussion in the core committee of ruling Pakistan People’s Party, majority of the central leaders of the party were of the view that in case of resignation, the party would retain the slot. While some of them were of the view that it would be a violation of the Charter of Democracy signed between PPP and PML-N leadership and stressed that the slot should remain with some leader from opposition parties.
Getting air of the government’s plans, the leadership of PML-N has decided to defer the plan of quitting the PAC slot for the time being and in this connection a series of meetings between Nisar and Nawaz Sharif and a few other leaders were held in Lahore.
