He has also served as prime minister AJK from July 30, 1996 to July 24, 2001 when he was associated with the PPP. On the other hand, Sardar Tanvir is a newcomer to the PTI and owns a famous multi-storey residential and shopping complex in the federal capital. A source in the PTI said that some party stalwarts have also floated a proposal to appoint Sardar Tanvir Ilyas as prime minister and accommodate Barrister Sultan Mahmood by appointing him as president of Azad Kashmir. Another source told this scribe that Prime Minister Imran may also opt to appoint a young and bright lawmaker if the contest between Barrister Sultan and Tanvir Ilyas intensified. He must look for a young and bright mind among party lawmakers as both Sultan Mehmood and Tanvir Ilyas are building pressure for the top slot,” the source concluded.
