Balochistan cabinet to take oath today

Balochistan cabinet may take oath on Saturday after negotiations between PPP leaders and a group of independent parliamentarians moved forward, sources close to both the groups told APP on Friday.According to reports, a group of seven independents who announced support to PPP candidate for the post of CM opposed the inclusion of former cabinet members into the new cabinet.However, after holding prolonged negotiations with Nawab Aslam Khan Raisani the group has agreed to accept portfolios in the new cabinet.Some other sources revealed that the deadlock actually centred on distribution of portfolios which the PPP central leadership had already promised with JUI-F and BNP-A.Another source who remained part of the negotiations disclosed that the independents had retracted from their demands and agreed on accepting other portfolios.
