ISLAMABAD, Aug 2 (TNS): As expected former Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan has refused to join the cabinet of Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi.
According to reports, newly-elected Prime Minister (PM) of Pakistan Shahid Khaqan Abbasi had asked Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan to continue working as the Interior Minister, but Nisar has refused to do so and said he won’t change his decision.
Let it be known that Chaudhary Nisar had announced to resign from the ministry in his press conference just a day before the verdict of the Supreme Court (SC) of Pakistan regarding the high-profile Panama Papers case in which the then Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was disqualified.
“I have told my leadership that I will resign the day Supreme Court announces its verdict; no matter which side it goes. Whether it is in our favor or against us, I’ll resign from the cabinet and also from the National Assembly seat,” he had said.
