The ruling party is not likely to reach a consensus with the PTI on the commission’s formation fearing “too many repercussions,” reliable sources in the ruling PML-N says.
“The formation of commission means all the respondents would have to appear before the inquiry panel. And any such appearance implies grilling, cross-examination and all that. This would be nothing less than a nightmare for us,” a senior PML-N leader said, while requesting not to be named.
The ruling party, he said, would push for the exclusion of the PM’s name in case the court decided to set up a commission even if consensus between both the sides was not reached.
