Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his cabinet is seriously
considering an option that PM should leave his office and place himself as
country’s president, just to counter the immense pressure created by the
opposition as a result of Prime Minister’s family connection with Panama
scandal revealed in Panama leaks.
Opposition has been emphasizing constantly that Nawaz Sharif should
step down as PM because presence of Nawaz Sharif will hinder the accountability
process of his own and his family. Premier’s legal experts are suggesting him
that if he quits his office and joins presidency, it will not only weaken the opposition’s
stance on PANAMA leaks but he will still be able to supervise the party matters
as well as general elections of 2018. Clean sweep in AJK legislative Assembly
has given him more confident that no matter if he is in England for his medical
treatment or in his presidency as powerless president, His daughter Maryam
Nawaz and relative Ishaq Dar has a potential in controlling the entire matters
single handedly.
Since there is no constitutional barrier on his quitting as a Prime Minister
and contesting for Presidency. His legal and constitutional experts believe
that Panama Papers Scandal will remain deflated as soon as he quits his office.
It is stressed that Shahbaz Sharif should be provided an opportunity
to become the prime minister for the rest of the tenure of Pakistan Muslim
League (N) government. These replacements will enable Nawaz Sharif to monitor
the next elections as while sitting quietly in presidency and also allow him to
pave the path for Maryam Nawaz Sharif to become next prime minister.
The sources also said that the
PML-N leadership had consulted with Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leadership in
the backdrop of this situation as per the Charter of Democracy, and the PPP
leadership is also fully agreed on this formula.
However, the PPP will oppose if
Chaudhry Nisar is appointed as the next PM, according to sources.
