As National Assembly Speaker Dr Fehmida Mirza accepted the resignation of Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan from the office of Public Accounts Committee (PAC) chairman, the PPP is likely to give the lucrative position to party’s Information Secretary Qamar Zaman Kaira after making an offer to the PML-N under the Charter of Democracy.
“The government will ask opposition leader Nisar Ali Khan to appoint new chairman of the PAC from opposition members following the Charter of Democracy (CoD). But as we know, the PML-N leader will refuse the request, the government will play to the galleries on the issue and later slot may be given to some PPP MNA most likely to Qamar Zaman Kaira,” said a PPP leader. Fehmida accepted Nisar’s resignation on Wednesday and a notification in this regard was issued by the National Assembly’s Secretariat.
