QUETTA, April 22: Balochistan Chief Minister Nawab Aslam Raisani said on Tuesday that differences among coalition parties on cabinet formation had been resolved and ministers would take oath on Wednesday.

After a meeting with Maulana Mohammad Khan Sherani, he told newsmen that his talks with JUI-F’s provincial chief had been positive and fruitful.

“No difference is left among the coalition partners and the new cabinet would take oath tomorrow afternoon,” said Nawab Raisani.

He did not say anything about the size of the cabinet.

Responding to a question, he said that all parties should take part in the all-party conference on Balochistan to be convened by PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari.

“All parties should come forward and present their points of view to resolve the Balochistan issue,” he said, adding that negotiations always resolved the problems.

Maulana Sherani said that the JUI-F would get seven ministries, including the portfolio of senior minister which would go to Maulana Wasay.
