Punjab governor Chaudhry Sarwar has decided to play a more active role in Pakistani politics from the PML-N platform.
“Sarwar will resign as Punjab governor and assume responsibilities in the centre in a few days,” a person privy to the development confided subject to anonymity. “With this the rumours of Sarwar leaving PML-N, or joining PTI, or PAT, have died,” the source said.
The fact is that the PML-N leadership is ready to give more “important responsibilities” to Sarwar, the person said.
Sources said that Sarwar, a former British MP, who gave up his British nationality to serve Pakistan on the invitation of the Sharif brothers, is likely to get the charge of the ministry of human resource and overseas Pakistanis.
Chaudhry Sarwar has been successful in getting the GSP Plus status, a trade benefit, from the EU for Pakistan.
