Opposition leader in the National Assembly Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan has refused to hold talks with the four-member committee formed by President Asif Ali Zardari regarding dissolution of assemblies and forthcoming elections.
The members of the committee included Khursheed Shah, Mian Raza Rabbani, Farooq Naik and Nazar Muhammad Gondal.
Sources said that Chaudhry Nisar is of the view that as an opposition leader in National Assembly he could not hold dialogue with the committee constituted to discuss formation of caretaker government and forthcoming elections.
It said that Nisar was also of the view that under the 20th constitutional amendment, the opposition leader can only hold talks with the prime minister for the appointment of caretaker prime minister.
The PML-N has given a task to Senator Ishaq Dar to have consultations with the committee. However, sources added that the final talks would take place between Chaudhry Nisar and PM Raja Pervez Ashraf for the appointment of caretaker PM, the sources added.
