LAHORE: Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif, while expressing his annoyance at ‘sit-back’ attitude, has hinted at change in his cabinet after the Punjab budget for the next financial year.

Speaking at inauguration ceremony of students’ enrolment campaign at CM Secretariat on Wednesday, the chief minister said he would be looking for dynamic and agile leadership in his cabinet.

Shahbaz may knowingly or unknowingly be following the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa if he opts for cabinet reshuffle. The PTI had removed ministers on charges of poor performance.

The chief minister also lamented the poor law and order situation in the country and added that foreign investors were afraid of making investment in Pakistan.

He said some countries were even politely offering their help to tackle law and order situation in Pakistan.
