Islamabad: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has given additional charge of ministry of defense to Khawaja Muhammad Asif who was also a Minister for Water and Power.
In addition, the prime minister has also given additional charge of the ministry of law to Pervaiz Rasheed.
Asif will now have two portfolios of ministry of defence and ministry of water and power while Rasheed will now have the portfolios of minister of information and minister of law.
The decision came after the Supreme Court of Pakistan yesterday ordered the Defence Minister to appear before the court in the missing persons’ case.
It is pertinent to mention here that previously these additional portfolios were with the prime minister himself.
