Web Desk (LTN NEWS): Punjab Chief Minister Pervaiz Elahi gave the new members of the Punjab Cabinet their jobs on Thursday after Imran Khan approved their names.
Sources at the CM’s House say that the 21 members of CM Pervaiz Elahi’s cabinet take oath at the Punjab Governor House. During his visit a few days ago, Imran Khan, the leader of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, approved a working cabinet of 18 people for the Punjab government. In the first phase, only PTI ministers would take their oaths.
A 21-member cabinet of Chief Minister Pervez Elahi took oath on Saturday at Governor’s House.
Punjab Governor Muhammad Baleegh-ur-Rehman administered the oath to the newly inducted members.
In a statement, after rumours that the PML-N governor might not administer the oath to the PTI minister, Baleegh-ur-Rehman vowed to retain the democratic traditions and fulfill his constitutional and legal obligations.
PTI’s Omar Sarfaraz Cheema had refused to administer the oath to PML-N ministers, triggering a political crisis in the country’s political heartland.
