PM, speaker can be from any province: Fahim

Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) senior vice chairman Makhdoom Amin Fahim has termed this presumption, saying the speaker and the prime minister could not be from same province, wrong. Talking to the newsmen here out side the National Assembly, Fahim said that there was no set norm making it mandatory for the prime minister and the speaker should come from separate provinces. Elaborating this he said that this theory was wrong that if the speaker was from one province, then the PM could not be from the same province. He further said that if President Pervez Musharraf invited for the formation of the government, then he would talk to party co-chairman Asif Zardari. He said, “Why should I raise objection, when making Yusuf Raza Gilani PM was not even sounded.”
