Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Shireen Mazari has said that PTI would not be giving the all-important provincial ministry for Education in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) to Jamaat-e-Islami (JI).
In a Tweet, the PTI leader wrote, “Let me state officially that PTI is not handing Education to any coalition partner!”
This comes barely a day after JI Secretary Information Anwar Niazi announced that following a meeting between JI chief Munawwar Hassan and PTI Chairman Imran Khan at the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Hospital, JI would be given the Education Ministry.
Hasan, along with JI General Secretary Liaquat Baloch and other party members, called on Khan to enquire after his health and discuss the formation of government in KP.
After the meeting, Hassan told reporters that as per initial negotiations, the JI will be given three ministries under one senior minister. He had then said that the details of the portfolios which will be allotted to the JI will be announced by Imran Khan later.
