LAHORE: Expressing concerns over the proposal of PPP and JUI-F, PML-N leader Mohammad Zubair has said that Pervaiz Elahi cannot be the priority of his party for Punjab\u2019s chief minister slot.<\/p>\n
Two days earlier, the PPP and JUI-F had put up an option to offer Punjab’s chief ministership to PTI’s close aide PML-Q on the table before PML-N in a bid to move a no-confidence motion successfully against Prime Minister Imran Khan in the National Assembly.<\/p>\n
PML-Q had put forth a condition saying that they would stand beside the Opposition in Punjab and Centre for the no-confidence motion if CM Punjab’s portfolio is offered to Pervaiz Elahi.<\/p>\n
Talking on\u00a0Geo News<\/i>\u00a0programme\u00a0Aaj Shahzaib Khanzada Kay saath<\/i>, Nawaz Sharif’s spokesperson Mohammad Zubair said that, it could not be our priority to hand over the CM seat to Pervaiz Elahi, adding that, \u201cstill there are many things that yet to be agreed upon.”<\/p>\n
\u201cDiscussing the option of handing over CM Punjab portfolio to Pervaiz Elahi, doesn\u2019t mean that the PML-N leadership has decided on this,\u201d he said. The former governor Sindh went on to say that PML-N and other opposition parties are united on one point and that is the ouster of PM Imran Khan.<\/p>\n
\u201cOusting the incumbent government is in the interest of the country and we [opposition] parties are completely agreed on it,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Responding to a question regarding Maryam Nawaz’s absence from the Opposition party’s meeting, he said that Maryam Nawaz has been a part of all the meetings since day first as she is looking every matter behind the scene.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe was taken on board in every meeting of Opposition and plays a key role in decision making while she is giving her input as well,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cNawaz Sharif is overseeing the complete process as his decision is final and that is important,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n
