Major changes are occurring in the cabinet today with Asad Umar resigning from his position of Finance Minister and Fawad Chaudhry now being appointed as the Federal Minister for Science and Technology. Fawad Chaudhry resigned from his current position as the Information Minister earlier whereas Firdous Ashiq Awan will be facilitating the PM as special assistant on information for now.
