Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif and leader of the opposition in the Punjab Assembly Raja Riaz drew battle lines on the selection of the interim Chief Minister and the matter was likely to go before Parliamentary Committee. Saturday is the last day for evolving a consensus on the nominee for the office of caretaker Chief Minister.
As the situation appeared hopeless, the opposition has already nominated its three-member team comprising Zulfiqar Gondal, Shaukat Basra and Chaudhry Zaheeruddin. The PML-N is yet to name its team. Both the treasury and opposition sides have already rejected each other's candidates.
