ISLAMABAD: In a high-level meeting the other day, it was decided that Chief Minister Punjab Shahbaz Sharif would serve as prime minister in case SC disqualifies Prime Minister (PM) Nawaz Sharif in the Panama Papers Case, sources are reported to have told local media outlet.
Sources are reported to have said that during the meeting, PML-N brainstormed on possible names to serve as replacement in case the Supreme Court (SC) disqualifies the PM.
Chances are that PML-N leader Khawaja Asif will most likely become interim prime minister for 45 days until Shahbaz Sharif is elected from a National Assembly seat.
It was also decided during the huddle that the ruling party will utilise all legal and constitutional options available if the SC decision goes against the PM.
The meeting chaired by the premier was attended by Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif along with federal ministers, advisers and the legal team representing the Sharif family in the Panama Papers case.
