Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar on Thursday dismissed the impression that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif returning to Pakistan under a deal with his government.
“The caretaker government has ‘no soft corner’ for PML-N or any other political party…How can a caretaker government strike such a deal,”.
However, he said that if Nawaz returns and takes part in politics, he will have to face some legal obstacles.
“The answers to these legal questions lie in legal remedies,” said the interim PM. He added that any leader be it Imran Khan, Asif Ali Zardari, or Nawaz, everyone would have to deal with the law.
The caretaker PM said that Pakistani politics had turned into “regimental camps” and the country had been turned into a fighting ground for political positions.
He also dismissed the notion that the caretaker setup could be compared to the “Kakar formula” where both then-prime minister Nawaz Sharif and then president Ghulam Ishaq Khan were forced to resign on a proposal of then army chief General (retd) Waheed Kakar to make way for elections.
