PM, Maulana Fazal-ur-Rehman discuss cabinet expansion

Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif received Maulana Fazal-ur-Rehman, chief of JUI-F in Islamabad Thursday and discussed political matters including expansion of the cabinet, sources said.

The JUI-F leader, Akram Khan Durrani, is likely to be conducted in the cabinet and a decision has already been taken, the govt and JUI sources said.

Sources earlier said the two sides had some differences over ministries that caused delay in expansion.

Official statement from the PM office did not mention the cabinet issue.

The statement said during the meeting, various political issues came under discussion with particular emphasis on the law & order situation and terrorism.

“The Prime Minister reiterated that all the political parties have to work together for curbing the menace of terrorism.”

Maulana Fazal-ur-Rehman offered “fateha” over the sad demise of the uncle of the Prime Minister, who died recently.

Minister for Information Senator Pervaiz Rashid was also present during the meeting.
