ISLAMABAD: The federal government has decided to expand its cabinet, with four new ministers expected to be sworn in soon, according to sources.
The likely inductees include Hanif Abbasi and Dr. Tariq Fazal Chaudhry from the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), Khalid Magsi from the Balochistan Awami Party (BAP), and Mustafa Kamal from the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P).
Sources suggest that Abbasi may be assigned the Ministry of Railways, while Dr. Chaudhry is expected to take charge of the Ministry of National Health Services. Additionally, Magsi is likely to be appointed as the Minister for Communications, whereas Kamal may be given the Ministry of Science and Technology.
Currently, the Ministry of Science and Technology is held by Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui, who also oversees the Ministry of Federal Education. However, sources confirm that Siddiqui will continue to manage the Ministry of Federal Education following the cabinet reshuffle.
