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.

Accountability court hears assets case against Ishaq Dar

ISLAMABAD: An accountability court in Islamabad on Wednesday resumed the hearing of a reference filed against former finance minister Ishaq Dar by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) for allegedly accumulating assets beyond his known sources of income.  Judge Muhammad Bashir is recording the statement of a prosecution witness, Ishtiaq Ahmed. At the previous hearing, the accountability judge had reserved his verdict on an application filed by two co-accused seeking acquittal in the case. Naeem Mehmood and Mansoor Rizvi, who are directors of Dar’s companies, had filed the application requesting the judge to exonerate them from all charges for want of evidence. Qazi Misbah, the counsel for the two co-accused, contended the prosecution has failed to provide compelling evidence to prove the allegations leveled against his clients. The third co-accused President National Bank of Pakistan (NBP), Saeed Ahmed, had already filed an application before the court for his acquittal wh...

Qatar to hike minimum wage ‘by end of year’

DOHA: Qatar could increase the minimum wage for migrant workers by the end of 2018, unions predicted on Monday, as the 2022 World Cup host seeks to push through labour reforms. It would be the first change to the monthly wage since its introduction by the gas-rich Gulf state last November. “By the end of the year we expect a new minimum wage to be set, that’s good news,” said Sharan Burrow, general secretary of the International Trade Union Confederation. Burrow did not name a figure but said the new wage would be calculated by assessing a “basket of goods”. She was speaking after meeting Qatar’s labour minister, Issa al-Jufali al-Nuaimi, and other government officials in Doha over the past two days. The minimum wage was set at 750 riyals a month ($206, 170 euro) on its introduction. In addition to the salary, labourers receive free accommodation, food and healthcare plans, covered by employers. The 750-riyal figure has been criticised as too low. “We believe it is not good e...
