LAHORE - Federal Minister for Railways Sheikh Rasheed on Saturday has strongly criticised Prime Minister Imran Khan decision over appointing Shahbaz Sharif as PAC Chairman.
Sheikh strongly criticised the government’s act to concede Public Accounts Committee (PAC) chairmanship to Shehbaz Sharif didn’t send a good message to the masses.
Addressing a press conference in Punjab province’s capital, the minister said that the government’s decision to concede PAC chairmanship to Opposition Leader in National Assembly Mian Shehbaz Sharif sent a wrong message for “people wish to see dishonest people to meet their end”.
About the opposition’s protest over non-issuance of the production order of another PML-N leader Khawaja Saad Rafique, the minister said that the opposition’s objection is not justified for he has himself served jailtime while being an MNA in the past.
The PTI government on Thursday conceded the chairmanship of PAC to PML-N president Shehbaz Sharif, almost three months after a deadlock with the opposition over the key position. A number of PTI leaders had earlier termed the suggestion as* billi ko doodh ki rakhwali pe lagana (*trusting a person with vested interest in charge).
