Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif’s cabinet members took oath on Tuesday. In the new setup, the cabinet has 31 federal ministers, three ministers of state and three advisers in the first phase, as has been said by the coalition government.
As usual, the federal cabinet includes less ratio of females. The list includes:
Marriyum Aurangzeb – Minister for Information
Shazia Atta Marri- Chairperson Benazir Income Support Programme
Hina Rabbani Khar- Minister for Foreign Affairs,
Dr Aisha Ghaus Pasha- Adviser to PM on Finance
Sherry Rehman- Minister of state for Climate change
Following the oath-taking, social media users criticise the induction of only five females in the new federal cabinet.
