Spokesman Report

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif Tuesday allocated different portfolios to the federal ministers and minister of state. According to a notification of the Cabinet Division, in items of the rule 3 (4) of the Rules of Business 1973, the prime minister has allocated portfolios to the following ministers and minister of state with immediate effect.

Khurram Dastagir has been allocated the portfolio of Federal Minister for Power, Muhammad Hashim Notezai as Minister of State for Power, Sardar Ayaz Sadiq as Federal Minister for Economic Affairs, Mian Riaz Hussain Pirzada as Federal Minister for Human Rights and Murtaza Javed Abbasi as Federal Minister for Parliamentary Affairs.

The latest allocations come as the prime minister — who was sworn into the office on April 11 after the ouster of Imran Khan — is finalising his federal cabinet after consultations with coalition partners. It is noteworthy that Prizada was handed the portfolio after it was withdrawn from Ehsaan-ur-Rehman Mazari last week. The latter was later appointed as the minister for inter-provincial coordination.

Meanwhile, Former diplomat Syed Tariq Fatemi was — on the same day as Mazari — denotified as the special assistant to the prime minister on foreign affairs a day after he was appointed to the post.
