HeadlinesMir Hazar Khan Khoso to be sworn in as caretaker PM today

ISLAMABAD: Justice (retd) Mir Hazar Khan Khoso will be sworn in as caretaker prime minister at a ceremony at Aiwan-e-Sadr in Islamabad on Monday (today), Dispatch News Desk (DND) reported.

President Asif Ali Zardari will administer oath to Hazar Khan Khoso, while the oath taking ceremony of caretaker prime minister would be held today at 1:00PM at Awan-e-Sadr.

Khose was picked up by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) from amongst four candidates after two days of deliberations in Islamabad on March 24. He was one of the two nominees of the Government.

Talking to media on Sunday after being announced as caretaker PM, Justice (retd) Khoso rejected a perception that the caretaker set-up was going to stay for more than the stipulated period and asserted that elections would be held on time. Holding fair and transparent elections was his top priority, he added.

Khoso said his cabinet would comprise only 10 to 12 members which could include politicians.

The elected interim PM observed that elections were the only solution to problems faced by the country and said he would soon meet all political leaders.

About the law and order situation, he said it was the responsibility of the provinces and consultations would be held with them on the issue. He said he would quit if he failed to hold the elections on time.
