ISLAMABAD, August 8: Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Tuesday hinted at bringing an amendment in Article 62-1(f) of the constitution, which requires a public representative to be “Sadiq and Ameen” (truthful and honest).
Speaking to anchorperson Hamid Mir Abbasi said his party, the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), will decided whether he was to stay as premier for 45 days or longer.
He said that Nawaz Sharif suggested his name for the prime minister and everyone extended their support in its favour.
