Three federal ministers and one state minister sworn in the parliament on Thursday as the President of Pakistan administered a simple oath ceremony held at the Aiwan-e-Sadr, Islamabad.
Although the portfolios of the newly inducted ministers will be announced later on but according to initial reports, with these new improvements, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam – Fazlur Rehman (JUI-F) has officially become a part of the federal government.
The ministers include Muhammad Akram Khan Durrani‚ Abbas Khan Aafridi and Engineer Khurram Dastagir while the one minister of state is Abdul Ghafoor Haidri.
Akram Durrani and Akram Durrani are affiliated to JUI-F; therefore, it is pertinent to note here that the central leaderships of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and JUI-F had been holding negotiations over the past several months in this connection.
It took the two sides several months to reach the pact as some matters continued to remain pending.
