ISLAMABAD: The ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government has maintained its reluctance in allowing the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif to lead the Public Accounts Committee (PAC). Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry on Saturday said the PTI government will not allow Pakistan the PML-N leaders to audit projects carried out during their own government. “Opposition, including the PPP, has jointly decided to name Shehbaz Sharif as the PAC chairman. As per the norm practiced in the previous tenures, the opposition leader holds the position of PAC chairman,” she said. The federal minister has added that the government would not conduct by-polls like the PML-N during their tenure.
