Nisar has already got assurance from the senior party leadership that no one from the cabinet who is junior to him would be nominated for the slot of premiership in case of disqualification of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in Panama Papers case, the sources said.

But the minister still wants to make some things public over the matter of his souring relations with the party, they added.
