ISLAMABAD: Senior leader of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), Khursheed Shah on Monday blamed the Federal government for damaging the goodwill and reputation of Public Accounts Committee (PAC).
While speaking over the affair of removal of Shehbaz Sharif as PAC Chairman, Khursheed Shah lashed out at the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) led government and termed its ministers ‘novice’ in the political arena.
He stated that the government is destroying the reputation of PAC through proper planning. The prominent member of PPP asserted that he will not let anyone hurt the prestige of institutions like PAC.
“PAC performed exceptionally well in the last ten years, but PTI destroyed institutions when they were in opposition as well as after assuming office”, added Khursheed Shah.
Earlier yesterday (Sunday), the federal government made decision on principle to remove Opposition Leader in the National Assembly (NA) Shehbaz Sharif as chairman of PAC.
Sources said that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) led federal government decided to nominate Fakhar Imam as new PAC chairman after succeeding in no-confidence motion to be brought against Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) President and Opposition Leader in the National Assembly (NA) Shehbaz Sharif.
