Islamabad: Pakistan’s newly elected Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf would be controlled by his predecessor Yousuf Raza Gilani, said English daily The News on Saturday.
According to the paper Gilani will try to run the show from the Presidency and Raja Pervaiz Ashraf will just be the public face as Prime Minister and an agreement has also been settled with the new PM.
The newspaper said Gilani’s bureaucratic aides like Nargis Sethi, Khushnud Lashari and others would continue working on their positions and thus Raja would be dependent and surrounded by them.
it said Gilani has shifted to the Presidency, where a presidential suite of three bedrooms on the sixth floor has been set up for him.
Fawad Chaudhry, a close aide of Gilani, when contacted denied the impression that the former PM will be pulling the strings of Raja Pervez Ashraf.
