Re: Zardari/Altaf bhai bhai?
If the below report is true, then we are heading to a cabinet of 100, with more of Zardari’s “brothers” and “sisters” having to be accomodated.
MQM may get 3 federal ministries
LAHORE: The Muttahida Qaumi Movement is likely to get three federal and five Sindh ministries, it was learnt on Wednesday. According to sources privy to proceedings, the reconciliation efforts between the MQM and the PPP have reached consensus and it is expected that the MQM would also hold the slot of Sindh governor and Karachi city nazim. The party is pressuring the government to grant the ministries of Ports and Shipping, Housing and Communication to them, while also requesting the Information Technology Ministry. However, a senior party leader, seeking anonymity, said that the decision to give a reasonable share of ministries in both the federal and provincial cabinets to the MQM had been made after the party decided to field its candidates for Sindh chief minister, speaker and deputy speaker of the Sindh Assembly.
