PML-N president and prime minister in waiting Nawaz Sharif has accepted President Asif Ali Zardari’s 22nd May invitation to attend the reception hosted for visiting Chinese PM.
This acceptance would be marking the already auspicious event, with another memorable occasion of first informal, meeting between two leaders after the elections.
PML-N sources have indicated that despite being informal, the talks would still entail deliberations over important National matters, which would definitely include the most impending issue of transfer of power.
Nawaz would also be raising the issue of high-level appointments, during which he would be stressing over resignation of NAB (National Accountability Bureau’s) chief Admiral (r) Fasih Bukhari for his indictment in subjudice case of contempt of court.
Currently the NAB chief is also pursuing references against the Sharif Brothers, and any new appointment would simply shelve these references into cold storage.
Meanwhile, former CM Punjab Shahbaz Sharif has expressed his strong reservations over some appointments, which were ‘clarified’ by president’s spokesman Farhatullah Babar as being made by the caretaker government.
“With President Zardari having no role in the appointments, Shahbaz Sharif should desist from any blame-game,” he had said.
