There are reservations in the party about Abdul Qadir Baloch for appointing him as interior minister as he has been corp commandar Quetta, Gujranwala and governor Baluchistan during Musharraf era. Having military background it is feared that his stance will be nearer to military views than that to civil idealogy. One ministry each to PML functional and Pakhtun Khaw ASwami party will be given. Jui will be aloted one ministry if it joins government. Sources say that Mushahid Ullah Khan may be given ministry of Port and Shipping because this ministry has always been in Karachi. His name is also considertede for governor Sindh. Anosha Rahman is desirable for ministry of IT but she will be appointed minister for state. Ghaus Ali Shah from Sindh wioll be advisor to prime minister for defence. Shahbaz Sharif will help Khawaja Asdif Khawaja Asif in the affairs of his ministry for energy to solve the energy crisis. It means that Shahba Sharif will be deputy prime minister as well as chiefv minister ofPunjab. Good and nice for the nation. He is a good administrator. He changed the face of Punjab and made Lahore a European city.
