Rana Tanveer to chair PAC in Shehbaz’s place

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) on Thursday nominated Rana Tanveer as Shehbaz Sharif’s replacement to chair Public Accounts Committee (PAC).

According to sources, Khawaja Asif has been nominated as parliamentary leader. Asif was nominated parliamentary leader by former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi.

“Khawaja Asif was made parliamentary leader on the request of Shehbaz Sharif,” Abbasi said.

Last year, Sharif was elected chairman of the parliamentary committee unopposed after the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf government conceded the coveted post to the president of PML-N.

Vowing to return soon, Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif left for London on April 10 to see his grandchildren.

In a series of tweets before his departure, Shehbaz said: “I am going to take a quick visit to London to see my grandchildren & go through my own medical check up and return soon.”

“Because of Judicial grace exercised by Honourable courts, I am now on bail and my name has been taken off the ECL. In these circumstances.”
