ISLAMABAD: Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Information and Broadcasting Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan on Monday announced that the government has decided to reshuffle the federal cabinet.
The special assistant took to twitter, saying the government has decided to appoint former finance minister Asad Umar as Federal Minister for Planning and Special Initiative. “Khusro Bakhtiar will be given Ministry of Petroleum portfolio,” she tweeted, saying notification of changes in the federal cabinet will be issued soon.
Umar had stepped down as the finance minister on April 18, after Prime Minister Imran Khan asked him to take the portfolio of petroleum, which he declined and opted to quit the federal cabinet.
