The development is a follow up of PTI’s PTI commitment to its allies PML-Q and GDA over the provision of a federal ministry.
Sources say that talks to give MQM and GDA a federal ministry each, as promised, are also underway.
Prior to this, the portfolio of Ministry of Water Resources was held by PTI’s Faisal Vawda who in fact had resigned from the post to cast his vote in the Senate elections earlier this year.
