ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Senator Azam Nazeer Tarar has been reinstated as federal Minister for law and justice after Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif rejected his resignation.

According to notification from federal government, Tarar was allocated Law and Justice portfolio while federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Political Affairs Ayaz Sadiq ceased to “hold the portfolio of law and justice”.

Azam Nazeer Tarar took over his post as Law Minister again after retirement of Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa. Speaking a day earlier, Tarar said he had accepted to return to his former portfolio because Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had rejected his resignation. 

Earlier, powerful circles were upset at ‘anti-establishment slogans’ raised during Asma Jahangir Conference last month in his presence.
