PPP finalises 4 names for parliamentary committee

The Pakistan People’s Party has finalised four names for inclusion as members of the parliamentary committee that could be tasked with nominating the caretaker prime minister. The proposed members are Law Minister Farooq H Naik‚ Religious Affairs Minister Khurshid Shah‚ Railways Minister Ghulam Ahmed Bilour and PML-Q chief Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain. The parliamentary committee, comprising four members from the government and opposition each, will resolve the issue after a failure of the prime minister and leader of the opposition to agree on a name. Political observers are of the opinion that even the parliamentary committee was not expected to resolve the matter, as both parties had equal representation and the issue was likely to eventually go to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), which was likely to decide the caretaker prime minister.
