Federal cabinet meets to review country's political, economic situation


A meeting of the federal cabinet is currently under way in Islamabad,Radio Pakistan reported .

The meeting, led by Prime Minister Imran Khan, is discussing the country's overall political and economic situation.

Tuesday's meeting comes hours after Finance Minister Shaukat Tarin left for Washington for talks with the International Monetary Fund and nearly a week after the ministers met in the wake of the unveiling of “Pandora Papers”— an investigation into the hidden financial holdings of high-profile individuals across the world.

After last week's cabinet meeting, Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry had said that cabinet members whose names had appeared in the Pandora Papers would not be removed from their positions unless they were found guilty of wrongdoing.

In recent days, the federal capital has also been gripped with feverish speculation about a delay in the issuing of notification for the appointment of incoming Inter-Services Intelligence Director General Lt Gen Nadeem Ahmad Anjum from the Prime Minister Office.

The government has so far maintained silence on the issue.
