LAHORE: Federal Minister for Interior Ijaz Ahmed Shah on Wednesday denied reports of any changes in the federal cabinet, saying the prime minister has confidence in his ministers. He said this during an exclusive interview with Pakistan Today Editor Arif Nizami on Channel 92’s programme ‘Ho Kya Raha Hai?’The interior minister said that the prime minister has confidence in his abilities and he cannot be replaced as long as the premier trusts him. It is worth mentioning here that a few days ago, reports claimed that the prime minister is preparing to reshuffle the federal cabinet and would grant the Interior Ministry to either Pervez Khattak or Shafqat Mehmood. “Law and order is the responsibility of the provinces but the federal government too has a responsibility to thwart internal and external threats,” he said. However, the premier would not grant them any deal under another ordinance like the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO), he added.
