Names for caretaker PM will be sent within 2 to 3 days: Ch. Nisar

Opposition leader in the National Assembly, Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan will reply to Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf’s letter in two to three days.
Talking to reporters outside the parliament house on Friday  Ch Nisar said that he has been consulting with the party leadership after receiving the letter of the prime minister and will hopefully respond in two to three days with two names for the caretaker prime minister.
He said that Tehrik-e-Insaf was contacted earlier however due to non serious attitude of PTI Chairman Imran Kahn we will not directly contact him instead proposed names will also be sent to Imran Khan via Jamaat-e-Islami Chief Munawar Hassan.
He further said if PM and the opposition leader fail to reach a consensus on the care taker PM than the matter would be referred to the Parliamentary Committee however only our proposed names would be forwarded to the committee.
In response to a question Ch Nisar said we do not accept MQM as opposition and we will not consult them on the matter of caretaker setup. He said we will not allow PPP to hood wink us. He said that it is the conspiracy of PPP to put MQM on opposition benches. But even this card of President Zardari was foiled by PML-N.
