ISLAMABAD:
Prime Minister Imran Khan is likely to appoint Finance Adviser Dr Abdul Hafeez Shaikh, Commerce Adviser Razak Dawood and Special Assistant to the PM on National Health Services Dr Faisal Sultan as federal ministers for six months in the wake of an Islamabad High Court ruling that unelected aides to the PM could not head government committees.
The premier has consulted with his legal team to discuss options to deal with the complications arising out of the court verdict as four committees of the federal cabinet are headed by Shaikh.
