PM shuffles the cards, again
Rashid put on helm of interior ministry amid PDM protests; Azam Swati, Ijaz Shah swap portfolios
In yet another rejig of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government, Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday elevated his Adviser Dr Abdul Hafeez Shaikh as the full-fledged Minister for Finance and brought high-profile political ally Sheikh Rashid Ahmed to the interior ministry’s helm.
The prime minister picked Azam Khan Swati, who was serving as the minister of counter-narcotics, to replace Rashid as the railways minister, while Rashid’s predecessor at the interior ministry, Brig (retd) Ijaz Ahmed Shah, was given the narcotics control ministry, vacated by Swati.
In public discourse, there are two images of Maulana Abdul Hamid Khan Bhashani: Green Maulana and Red Maulana . The first tries to portray him as an Islamic cleric or
pir, and overlooks his lifelong struggle against communalism, authoritarianism and exploitation of the poor masses. The second depicts him as a communist, and ignores the spiritual aspect of Maulana s political ideology. An in-depth analysis of his idea of Islam and its reflection in his political activities can help us understand the true essence of his life and work as well as why he is ever more relevant in the fight against the unholy alliance of authoritarianism and communalism.
