The chief minister emphasized that the nomination was made with an open heart, in the best interest of the nation, and that the opposition’s negative attitude is delaying the process for no valid reason.
He praised the committee members, Raja Basharat, Mian Aslam Iqbal and Hashim Jawan Bakht, as seasoned politicians who sincerely want negotiations but, unfortunately, the opposition has not reciprocated the same. Parvez Elahi emphasized the need for a caretaker chief minister who can handle the affairs of the caretaker government transparently and effectively.
