The sources within the Pakistan People’s Party said that Moulana Fazlur Rehman wanted to become president however, both the PPP and PML-N opposed the idea.
“Four ministries and deputy speaker’s slot are enough for JUI-F,” the PPP leaders said while speaking on condition of anonymity.
They said that as per the seats, PPP reserves all the right to have constitutional position. Meanwhile, the sources shared that Fazlur Rehman is annoyed over not getting the presidential slot.
