KARACHI, July 3: All the five new ministers inducted into the Sindh Cabinet belong to the interior of Sindh.

Dr Arbab Ghulam Rahim is a central leader of the Sindh Democratic Alliance (SDA) and hails from the Tharparkar district. He had been elected to National Assembly several times as an independent candidate.

Khan Mohammed Dahri is from Daulatpur Saffan, Naushahro Feroze district. He is a leader of PML(QA) and had been a MPA from his constituency.

Syed Aijaz Ali Shah Shirazi comes from Thatta and had been to Provincial Assembly several times. However, he has joined the cabinet as minister for the first time.

Sardar Muqeem Khan Khoso comes from Jacobabad district. He was elected MNA on PPP ticket. However, he was not given ticket for District Nazim in the last local bodies election as a result of which he developed differences with the party and parted ways. He formed the Sindh Inquilabi Mahaz whose convention was held in Sukkur four days back.
