Musharraf to consult BB and Fazl for interim setup
President General Pervez Musharraf would consult Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairwoman Benazir Bhutto, Pakistan Muslim League (PML) President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman for the formation of a caretaker government, Geo news quoted its sources as saying.
The channel said President Musharraf didnt want to include other political parties, including the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz and Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf, in this process as it would be difficult to reach a consensus in the presence of too many parties.
It said the president wanted an impartial caretaker government and would consult Bhutto, Shujaat and Fazl about the names of the caretaker prime minister and cabinet members. The channel said the size of the caretaker cabinet would be smaller than the current cabinet.
