LAHORE: Asma Jahangir, the rights activist and legal expert, said on Saturday that she has no desire of becoming the caretaker prime minister, Dispatch News Desk (DND) reported.
Talking to media in Lahore, Asma said certain people come into power in the name of the people and then refuse to party with it.
Former president of the Supreme Court Bar Association expressed apprehensions that certain forces were trying to create chaos in the country but added that elections would happen on time.
Asma also advised retired judges against joining the caretaker set-up and emphasized that democracy should continue to flourish in the country.
Earlier in January, Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan had said his party would oppose the nomination of Jahangir for caretaker prime minister.
“The PML-N has endorsed the name of rights activist Asma Jehangir for caretaker prime minister. We oppose this as she has association with the PPP,” Khan had said at a news conference.
