PTI comes under fire for flip-flopping on Punjab CM nominee

PTI Nasir Khosa

LAHORE: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) another about-turn over the name of caretaker chief minister in Punjab has drawn severe criticism from the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) and other political parties.

On Wednesday evening, the PTI withdrew the name of former bureaucrat Nasir Mahmood Khosa for the post of caretaker chief minister Punjab after public backlash.

The latest about-turn came days after it rejected the name of businessman Manzoor Afridi for interim chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Slamming the PTI over backtracking from the decision to install Khosa as interim chief minister, outgoing Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif said the party took a U-turn and asked if the person in habit of taking U-turns deserved to be made prime minister of Pakistan.

He said PTI chief Imran Khan is the master of taking U-turns and added politics is not his cup of tea.

Commenting on a resolution adopted by the Balochistan Assembly seeking delay in the polls, the PML-N president said it doesn’t augur well for continuity of the democratic system.

He said he doesn’t support the resolution and that holding of general elections on time is in the best interest of the country’s democratic system.

He said the people of the country are aware of those who wasted time and those who served them.

Separately, PML-N leader and Law Minister Rana Sanaullah said the PTI makes a decision first than thinks about it.

He categorically stated that there was not need to hold further consultations with the party over a caretaker set-up in the province.
