Imran Khan's party terms idea of installing technocrat govt for 2.5 years as 'joke'

Islamabad: Amidst rumours about installing a caretaker government of technocrats in Pakistan, former prime minister Imran Khan's party on Wednesday termed it as a "joke" with the country and said that such a setup would not be able to solve the current issues.

Former chairman of Federal Bureau of Revenue Shabbar Zaidi in an interview with a private TV news channel on



Tuesday said that discussions were going on to replace the current government with a caretaker setup comprising experts.

It is believed that such a government would rule for a period of about two and half years and take difficult decisions to stabilize the economy which the elected government cannot take due to fear of losing public support.
