PPP will think other options if ECP chooses Zahid as caretaker PM

Secretary Information of Pakistan Peoples Party Qamar Zaman Kaira has said if the Election Commission chooses Justice Nasir Aslam Zahid caretaker Prime Minister, then PPP will think over other options.

Talking to the media outside the parliament on Wednesday, he said that if PML-N wants to make Justice (Retd) Nasir Aslam Zahid Prime Minister, then it should give him party ticket to contest elections but PPP would not accept him on the slot of caretaker PM in any case.

He said that President Asif Ali Zardari would not resign to run the election campaign of PPP. The party's campaign would be managed by Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani and Raja Pervez Ashraf. The former minister said that Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan is an undemocratic person who wants to fasten the institutions. His inflexibility on the issue of caretaker Prime Minister has put even ECP in a test.

He said that PPP did never unjust to any other party. There are some differences with PML(Q) but both the parties would resolve their matters amicably. Seat adjustments would be carried out with PML (Q) in upcoming polls.

He told the journalists that the PPP gave the names of clean persons with good reputation for interim Prime Minister. He was of the view if many people from a family be in politics, it could not be called politics of inheritance.
