“In case there’s a consensus that a politician can be appointed, then it can either be Ishaq Dar or any other politician from any party,” he said.
However, he added, the government would try to appoint a person acceptable to all sides.
Earlier this week rumours that Dar was a possible candidate for the post of interim CM began to ciculate. However, neither Dar nor any other Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader rejected these rumours.
In fact, Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal said that the finance minister could be appointed to the post.
It was only later that Defence Minister Khawaja Asif denied the reports, with the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) also against his appointment.
