Moreover, Mohammad Mian Soomro became minister for privatization, with the additional portfolio of aviation division. Azam Swati was appointed as minister for parliamentary affairs. Asad Umar was removed from the post of finance minister due to weak economic policies, poor performance of the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) and surging dollar rate. Fawad Chaudhry was removed from the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting for using a hard tone on the issue of PTV managing director. He had also criticised several party members.
