Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan.
In what was the fourth cabinet shakeup in less than three years of his government, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday handed over the finance ministry to Hafeez Shaikh while interior ministry will now be administered by Sheikh Rashid.Â
According to Radio Pakistan report, Rashid has been replaced by Azam Swati as the railways minister.  Retired Brigadier Ijaz Ahmed Shah, who earlier had the interior ministry with himself, has now been made minister for narcotics control.
