ISLAMABAD
\nNo one in the government had proposed Finance Minister Ishaq Dar\u2019s name for caretaker prime minister, said Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah. Speaking at a local TV programme, the interior minister said, \u201cIt is a rumour that Dar\u2019s name was suggested or rejected by the government.
\n\u201cHe said talks were under way about whether a bureaucrat or a politician could be appointed to the coveted post. \u201cIf the consensus is developed, the caretaker prime minister can either be Ishaq Dar or any other politician from any party,\u201d he said.
\nHe, however, added that efforts would be made to appoint a caretaker PM acceptable to all. About return of PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif, the minister said it was a wrong assumption that the incumbent government had any authority to allow Nawaz to stage a comeback in politics.
\n\u201cThis is completely wrong. The government does not have this right,\u201d he said, pointing fingers at the Supreme Court. The top court had disqualified Nawaz through an order no one accepted, he claimed.
\nHe said the judges were \u2018biased\u2019 against the PML-N supremo. The minister further said Nawaz would also secure acquittal through courts just as PML-N Senior Vice President Maryam Nawaz did.
\nHe would return soon, secure interim bails and then secure acquittals, he added. \u201cAll the political restrictions imposed on him through conspiracies will end,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
