Govt to form small cabinet of competent people, says Ataullah Tarar​

PML-N leader Ataullah Tarar has said that the government will form a small cabinet of competent people.
Speaking on Geo News programme Naya Pakistan, he said this way a “good message will be sent to the people”.
“A small cabinet has to be formed,” Tarar added. “The PM’s vision is to allot ministries to those who work hard and can take the country out of crisis.”
Terming the incumbent coalition government alliance as “exemplary”, Tarar said the Federation has become strong due to PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari being elected as the next president.
“We had a good meeting with him earlier,” Tarar said. “They thought it was better for them to take constitutional positions. This doesn’t mean that they won’t be included in policy formation.”

PTI’s Ali Muhammad Khan says he expected more from Dr Alvi as president​

PTI leader Ali Muhammad Khan has said that he expected more from outgoing President Dr Arif Alvi when the party was going through tough times.

Speaking on Geo News programme Naya Pakistan, he said it won’t be appropriate to comment on Alvi’s legacy just a day after he received a guard of honour and is leaving the presidency.

“He is one of the most senior leaders,” Ali Muhammad said. “Maybe he was helpless due to the situation. All these things will be analysed as time passes by.”

PkMAP Chairman Mehmood Khan Achakzai has requested PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif to tell the saner elements in his party to control the charged political environment.

“We are small, [but our] problems are big. Our small mistakes will destroy everything, I request for the sake of the country that we have to sit together to resolve it,” he concluded.
