Rana Sanaullah Turns Down Shehbaz’s Invitation to Join Government: Sources

Reports suggest that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Ishaq Dar have extended an invitation to PML-N veterans Rana Sanaullah and Khawaja Saad Rafique to join the government.

According to sources Rana Sanaullah expressed his preference to remain outside the government fold in order to shape a distinct political narrative.

Prime Minister Shehbaz purportedly advised them to consider crafting their narrative within the government framework, advocating for a strategic alignment.

Khawaja Saad Rafique echoed similar sentiments, aligning with Rana Sanaullah's stance on maintaining independence while focusing on future-oriented political narratives.

Both emphasized the importance of resonating with the public through a narrative that addresses contemporary issues and aspirations.

PM Shehbaz is said to have deferred the final decision to Nawaz Sharif, implying that the party leadership will ultimately determine the course of action.

Sources indicate that while Rana Sanaullah expressed willingness to join the government if directed by Nawaz Sharif, the decision rests with him.

Nawaz Sharif is expected to make a decision upon his return from his ongoing visit to China, according to insiders.
