“The appointment of a blue-eyed and controversial person (Akhtar Buland Rana) as Auditor General of Pakistan has exposed the government’s intention to block the working of the PAC,” he told reporters at a press conference. Nisar also demanded the government convene a joint session of parliament on the NATO air strikes in Pakistan. Nisar had first threatened to resign from the post in August this year after differences developed with the government over the appointment of Rana as the new auditor general. He had also disbanded special and sub-committees of the PAC and had alleged that the government had given the position of auditor general to a controversial figure, which laid bare the government’s intentions. The ruling Pakistan People’s Party is likely to replace Nisar with former information minister Qamar Zaman Kaira, who has been recently inducted as a member in the PAC, or Yasmeen Rehman.
