Sindh, Punjab tussles over PM slot

Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Central leader and premiership hopeful Makhdoom Amin Faheem has said that he was a candidate for the prime minister slot, while the PPP MNA elect Chaudhry Ahmad Mukhtar contested that Makhdoom was never offered the premiership. In the Geo News program ‘Who would be the prime minister’, Makhdoom Amin Fahim said that the prime minister should be from Sindh and he was the candidate for this post. He said that he was a senior member of the party besides Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto and Asif Ali Zardari had also offered him the PM slot. On the other hand, Chaudhry Ahmad Mukhtar insisted that the PM should be from Punjab. He also claimed to be a senior member of the party, as his family was persistently associated with the Bhutto family since 1967. He also challenged that Makhdoom Amin Fajeem was ever offered to become PM.
