ISLAMABAD: National Assembly Opposition Leader Syed Khursheed Shah on Wednesday said that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan will be consulted before a new Chief Election Commissioner is finalised, Radio Pakistan reported.
Shah called for meaningful dialogue between the government and the protesting PTI.
The leader of the opposition reiterated his belief that talks could resolve all matters, including a judicial commission for probing alleged electoral rigging, if the PTI chief agrees to it.
The government has yet to appoint a permanent CEC after the previous incumbent Justice (retd) Fakhruddin G Ebrahim had resigned in July 2013.
PTI has been staging a sit-in in Islamabad for nearly 80 days over alleged election rigging, demanding that the May 2013 polls should be aduited and electoral reforms are implemented along with the resignation of the prime minister.

Seems the real opposition is PTI. That is why Khursheed Shah wants to consult IK. It is an open secret that PPP is doing Muk muka with PMLN.
This is nauseating to see thugs acting as pseudo statesmen...God have some mercy on this country and clean this plague
