ISLAMABAD:
In a quick response to a damning report that points to some of the top ruling party leaders’ involvement in the sugar crisis, Prime Minister Imran Khan has changed portfolios of key ministers while bringing in new faces.
Monday’s reshuffle looks especially limited when compared with Imran’s first reshuffle carried out in April last year.
The prime minister replaced Makhdoom Khusro Bakhtiar with Syed Fakhar Imam as Federal Minister for National Food Security, said a notification issued by the PM Office, adding Azam Sawati was made Federal Minister for Narcotics Control.
