PM Imran Khan, Sheikh Rashid engage in witty repartee

Ministers should be allowed to bring their lunch boxes  to  the cabinet meetings, Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said  in an interesting dialogue he had on Thursday with Prime Minister Imran Khan.

According to Geo News, the minister was jokingly commenting on the lengthy cabinet meetings that Khan chairs. 

“Most of the members need to be put on diet,” Prime Minister Imran Khan quipped ,” the TV channel reported.

When it comes to food, Sheikh Rashid is not known for restricting himself.

In the past, a video of the  firebrand politician was widely circulated on the social media in which he is seen getting his hands on a biryani box and  taking a bite out of chicken piece as he shared the stage with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s leadership including Imran Khan.

In the video Imran Khan  was seen attempting to suppress his smile .

 On December 10, Khan  chaired  the longest-ever cabinet meeting held in Pakistan’s  history on any subject.

During that meeting the premier  reviewed the three-month performance of each ministry with reference to service delivery, austerity measure undertaken by the respective ministers and their future plans.

The cabinet meeting then extended well past the dinner time, not very usual when it comes to Pakistan.
