PESHAWAR: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) stated on Monday that “Sharif’s are distributing key national posts within family” in response to Ishaq Dar’s appointment as deputy prime minister.
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.
In addition to being a seasoned politician and certified accountant, Dar is close to Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Nawaz Sharif and serves as his close aide.
Prior to this, he commanded the finance ministry from 2013 to 2017 and again from 2022 to 2023. He also led the ministry from 1998 to 1999, March to May 2008, and again from 2022 to 2023.
