In a sharp response to Ishaq Dar’s nomination as deputy prime minister on Monday, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) declared that “Sharif’s are distributing key national posts within family”.
Barrister Muhammad Ali Saif, Special Assistant to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister for Information, claimed that “the Sharif family is distributing important national posts among themselves.”
The PTI leader criticized the federal government for assigning jobs rather than addressing the problems that the people confront, emphasizing that the Constitution does not provide for the position of deputy prime minister.
The comments made by Barrister Saif came one day after Dar was named the deputy prime minister with immediate effect by the federal government through a Cabinet Division announcement on Sunday.
Following the formation of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), Dar was named the nation’s foreign minister.
