ISLAMABAD, Nov 30 (FD):Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Senator Azam Nazeer Tarar has been reinstated as the federal minister for law and justice on Wednesday after Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif rejected his resignation.
According to a notification from the federal government, Tarar was allocated the law and justice portfolio while Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Political Affairs Ayaz Sadiq ceased to “hold the portfolio of law and justice”.
Azam Nazeer Tarar took over his post as the law minister again after the retirement of army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa.
According to reports Tarar had accepted to return to his former portfolio because Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had rejected his resignation, furthermore both PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif and PM Shehbaz had instructed him to resume working as the law minister from Tuesday.
However, he sought time to consult with his bar fellows, who also suggested he return to his former portfolio again.
