A funny idea to include KH SAAD in consultancy committee while he is thought as being watch dog for the party who would like to tear up the opponents while talking to mediamen.

Why Saad Rafique. He is controversial and will be biased in any negotiations due to his personal stakes (seat) in line.

PTI do not like SAAD being from lower middle class and calls spade a spade. Where is he controversial because he shows mirror to PTI wallas.He stays in contact with his constituency.

Initiative is good, member selection (baring Ahsan Iqbal) is poor. No comments on Mr. Irfan Siddiqui as everybody knows about this guy. On the very same page where this news is published, Khawaja Saad Rafique in a separate note bashing Imran Khan. Apart from this we all know of his verbal diarrhea's in the past.
So much for the intention being compromised by capability.

If i am not mistaken, Irfan Siddiqui was a journalist who claimed to be independent and unbiased political commentator?

So a rapprochement seeking committee with two out of three members known as hawks; exception being Ahsan Iqbal. What is the idea here?

Instead of trying to save the government by forming face saving committees, Nawaz Sharif should thing starting work for the welfare of people, Govt. will itself be saved. Peoples are killed, Airports are attached, inflation is going out of control, and corruption is spreading everywhere. Mr. Prime minister hurry up before it become very late.
