ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: The Federal Information and Broadcasting Minister Fawad Chaudhry on Monday brushed aside media reports about reshuffling in the Cabinet, and asked media to demonstrate responsibility in its reporting.
In a tweet, Fawad Chaudhry said that no truth lies in media reports regarding the change of portfolio of government ministers.
The information minister said that it is the prerogative of the prime minister to make a reshuffling in the Cabinet.
The minister said that the media should demonstrate responsibility as the Country is passing through a critical time and such speculations won’t serve the Country.
حکومتی وزراء کے قلمدان تبدیل کئے جانے کے حوالے سے خبروں میں کوئ صداقت نہیں، وزراء کی تبدیلی وزیر اعظم کا صوابدیدی اختیار ہے میڈیا اس ضمن میں ذمہ داری کا مظاہرہ کرے۔ اس وقت پاکستان اہم مرحلے سے گزر رہا ہے اور اس نوعیت کی قیاس آرائیوں سے ہیجان جنم لیتا ہے، جو ملک کے مفاد میں نہیں
