Meanwhile, the Prime Minister, Federal Ministers, Governors, and Chief Ministers are avoiding meeting the President due to the crisis of credibility. Prime Minister Anwar-ul-Haq Kakar, who assumed office almost three weeks ago, has yet to meet the president.

Sources have indicated that the President who has 8 days left of his term is yet to get any prominent government official before completing his term.

Now the understanding prevails that whenever a dignitary calls or meets them, it will be in the presence of the notetaker.
