ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister Planning, Development and Special Initiatives Ahsan Iqbal invited his predecessor Asad Umar to a farewell dinner.
“On assuming charge of the Ministry of Planning, Development and Special Initiatives and in line with democratic customs, I would like to invite you for a farewell meeting/dinner on a date and time of your convenience,” said Iqbal in a letter to his predecessor to discuss development projects and their continuation in public interest.
The federal minister said that in the meeting he would “like to be briefed on the development initiatives of greater public importance” that the PTI government “had started and which should continue in public interest”.
“I look forward to a positive response from you. My office will coordinate with your personal staff to schedule the proposed farewell dinner/meeting with you at the earliest,” said Iqbal.
PTI leader Asad Umar, who held the same portfolio in former prime minister Imran Khan’s cabinet, is yet to respond to the invitation.
Ahsan Iqbal, who has previously served as planning minister, was sworn into Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s cabinet on April 19 and was given the portfolio of the Ministry of Planning, Development and Special Initiatives.
