Islamabad – Fawad Chaudhry has been made information minister for a second time. His reappointment as the federal information minister was confirmed by Standing Committee on Information and Broadcasting Chairperson Senator Faisal Javed Khan on Twitter Thursday.
Chaudhry replaces Shibli Faraz, who was appointed to the post in April of last year.
Chaudhry had earlier been removed as information minister in April 2019, less than a year into the PTI government and given the portfolio of science and technology.
It is unclear whether Chaudhry will continue to hold the charge of the science and technology ministry as the government has yet to make the notification of his appointment public.
In a tweet, Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Political Communication Shahbaz Gill congratulated Chaudhry for “getting reappointed as Federal Minister for Information”.
“Wish you all the best. Lots of prayers,” he added.
