Nisar tells Nawaz only a miracle can save him: sources

ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, while speaking with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif during the cabinet meeting on Thursday, said that only a miracle could save him, said sources privy to the matter.

The interior minister advised the premier to not confront the institutions and find a better alternative, further adding that certain ministers have brought about these circumstances upon him as they did not handle the Panama Papers leak in a proper manner.

Sources further added that the interior minister said the party restricted consultation by taking onboard junior politicians.

Nisar said during the meeting that he only once asked the prime minister to appoint him as foreign minister and has not asked for anything else of him.

Nisar, according to sources, said the political and legal team did not handle the situation well and has always expressed his opinion openly.

The prime minister reportedly said that it was better if the interior minister had expressed his opinion in private. 

Sources further said that interior minister excused himself from the meeting later.
