BAHAWALPUR(By Our Staff Reporter) Nine ministers from
South Punjab are now part of the new federal cabinet, which in a sense
is the first-ever example in the history of this backward region.
They include Engr Balighur Rehman, Mian
Riaz Hussain Pirzada, Sikandar Bosan, Hafiz Abdul Karim, Javed Ali Shah,
Owais Leghari, Arshad Leghari, Abdul Rehman Kanju and Ch Jaffer Iqbal
Gujjar. They were inducted into the cabinet under the directives by
former premier Nawaz Sharif. The candidates from South Punjab were given
maximum representation in the federal cabinet, reportedly, to counter
the PPP and PTI growing popularity in the region.
Four ministers were inducted in the
cabinet from Bahawalpur division, two of whom – Riaz Hussain Pirzada and
Balighur Rehman, belong to Bahawalpur district. Similarly, two state
ministers including Ch Jaffer and Arshad Leghari were picked up from
Rahim Yar Khan district. Bahawalnagar district were ignored again in the
newly-formed 47 members’ cabinet. The local PML-N leaders congratulated
Balighur Rehman for his induction in the federal cabinet. In their
joint statement, MPA Qazi Adnan Farid, Municipal Committee Chairman
Malik Usman Rasheed Bobak and Vice Chairman Mian Muzzamil Nadeem termed
it confidence of the party leadership on him. They expressed their
optimism that Balighur Rehman would bring drastic changes to the
educational system.
