ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) leaders who politically groomed Maryam Nawaz have proposed her three options, including fresh application for the chairpersonship of the Prime Minister Youth Programme (PMYP) through advertisement.
However, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will take a final decision in this regard after his return, it was learnt.
Maryam on Wednesday resigned from PMYP chairpersonship after Lahore High Court Judge Syed Mansor Ali Shah held out a choice to Maryam to either resign as chairperson or he will issue ruling on Friday.
Well-placed sources in the PML-N said that party leaders close to Maryam have suggested her to consider three options. First,the federal government should make proper mechanism for appointment of PMYP and to advertise its position. Maryam should apply for the PMYP position through formal procedure this time. The complainant in the LHC also argued that the appointment was made without inviting applications and being properly advertised.
The sources said the other suggestion given by senior leaders was for Maryam to replace PML-N’s Women Wing head Senator Nuzhat Sadiq. The third option is that she should replace her husband MNA Captain (retd) Muhammad Safdar as president of PML-N’s Youth Wing.
