Maryam Nawaz promoted as PML-N senior vice-president, asked to ‘re-organise’ party<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nIt also added that the “PML-N doesn\u2019t agree with the names sent by the outgoing Chief Minister Elahi”.<\/p>\n
Two days earlier, CM Elahi revealed the three names for a caretaker CM, which were agreed upon after consultation with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan.<\/p>\n
The three names shared by the chief minister included Ahmad Nawaz Sukhera, Naseer Ahmed Khan and Nasir Mahmood Khosa. It is likely that one of the three names would be finalised, he added.<\/p>\n
The provincial chief executive further said on his official Twitter handle, “We are sending these names to the [Punjab] governor and if the opposition thinks broadly, the agreement upon the suggested names seems likely.”<\/p>\n
‘These two names can’t be discussed’<\/strong><\/p>\nTaking a jibe at the two names proposed by the PML-N, PTI Senior Vice-President Fawad Chaudhry said that his party has not received names from the Nawaz Sharif-led party. \u201cMaybe someone in the media has joked,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The PTI leader said that Cheema is co-accused with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in a National Accountability Bureau (NAB) case, while Naqvi is behind everything. \u201cThese two names cannot be discussed,\u201d the politician said.<\/p>\n
Commenting on the possibility of a no-confidence motion against PM Shehbaz which the PTI chief has demanded, Fawad claimed that several PML-N members will be absent during the vote of no-confidence.<\/p>\n
\u201cGiven the PML-N\u2019s current situation, Rana Sanaullah will have to sacrifice Punjab\u2019s presidentship,\u201d the PTI politician said, hinting at the potential tensions within the ruling party in the centre as a result of CM Elahi\u2019s vote of confidence in the provincial assembly.<\/p>\n
