The last caretaker interior minister, a former military man who later served in the police, had been angling to get an advisory position in the present dispensation.
In fact, his finely tuned political antennae already having picked up the League for government, he gave Nawaz Sharif a tacit endorsement of sorts much before the elections, which landed him in a spot of trouble in the media.
All that came to naught, apparently, as the interior minister wouldn’t have any of this. In fact, the hopeful was heard complaining recently that the ministry-issued car and driver had recently been withdrawn. Just how long was the gentleman expecting to hold on to the perks?
