In the latest cabinet shuffle, Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry has been given the portfolio of information for the second time, Senator Faisal Javed Khan confirmed on Thursday.
In a tweet, Khan congratulated Chaudhry for “getting reappointed as Federal Minister for Information”. “Wish you all the best.
Lots of prayers,” he added. Chaudhry replaces Shibli Faraz, who was appointed to the post in April of last year. Faraz was recently re-elected to the Senate from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Chaudhry was earlier removed as information minister in April 2019, less than a year into the PTI government and given the portfolio of science and technology.
It is unclear whether Chaudhry will continue to hold the charge of the science and technology ministry as the government has yet to make the notification of his appointment public.
