Perhaps Nawaz wanted the ministry cover for Dar, also a part of the extended Sharif family, so he could avoid the NAB references as long as possible. Or, like once upon a time not too long ago, to keep Dar from spilling the beans, albeit “under duress”, once again. Iqbal is, of course, already heading two very serious ministries. Iqbal, with two other (very important) ministries to worry about, can hardly do any better. It is, after all, still the ruling party, and this is the last lap before the general election.
