JUI-F likely to get three federal ministries
The Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) will get three ministries at the Centre on a basis of an agreement reached by the four partners of the national coalition government on Tuesday. The four coalition parties the Awami National Party (ANP), the Pakistan Peoplees Party (PPP), the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) and the JUI-F held a meeting here to discuss the formula for ministriess distribution at the Centre. A source privy to the meeting told Daily Times that the JUI-F would be given at least three ministries, as the party enjoys more representation in the Senate as compared to its would-be partners. The JUI-F only had six members in the National Assembly, which qualifies it for only one ministry under the formula agreed upon between the PPP, the ANP and the PML-N. Posted by: Fred 2008-03-19 |
