After removal of Perviaz Rashid as federal information minister in wake of a controversial story, Prime Minister Nawaz on Monday opted for a loyalist and hand-picked Maryam Aurangzeb as state minister for information.
Aurangzeb was elected on a reserved seat for women in 2013 general elections. She is said to have worked closely with Maryam Nawaz, the daughter of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. She was a part of Maryam`s team overseeing the education sector.
