Shahid Khaqan Abbasi to be interim Pakistan PM after Sharif's removal


Islamabad, Jul 29 (Agencies): Former petroleum minister and senior Pakistan Muslim League-(Nawaz) leader Shahid Khaqan Abbasi will be appointed as interim prime minister of Pakistan after Nawaz Sarif was disqualified by the Supreme Court in Panamagate case.

Pakistan Finance Minister Ishaq Dar was also disqualified by the Supreme Court in the case.

Abbasi will run the government as interim prime minister until Nawaz Sharif's brother Shahbaz is elected as member of parliament.

After a consultative session of the ruling PML-N, Shahbaz has emerged as the most likely candidate to be the next prime minister of Pakistan after an interim premier has served the 45-day period, Geo News reported.

    People,

    Pakistan is ruled by its Military/ISI all the time...some time directly through military dictators like Ayub Khan, Yahya Khan, Zia Ul Haq and Musharraf....some times indirectly through civilian PMs....

    Whenever Civilians rule and don't listen to Military/ISI they topple them...Bhutto, Benazir, Gilani, Nawaz are good example for this...

    Why Military/ISI do this???...Reasons are very simple and clear...Pak spends more 50% of its budget on military....and there is no audits or discussion of its military budget in Pak parliament...whenever civilians try to hold them accountable they topple them either directlythrough Military coup or indirectly through judiciary...

    In Nawaz's party PMLN there are 2 strong supporters of Pak army...Nawaz's brother Shabaz and Interior(Home Minister) Nissar Ali Khan...

    Blood is thicker than water...so now Shabaz will replace Nawaz and Pak military will continue its normal business Rearing Terrorists for exporting to Afghanistan and Kashmir...

    Sooner or later these terrorists will take over Pakistan and Afghanistan and US will nuke them in self defense...

    ...JH...
