Combo photos show Md Tajul Islam and Mustafa JabbarA little over four months after the formation of the government, powers of two key ministers — Md Tajul Islam and Mustafa Jabbar — have been curtailed.
Islam, who held the politically important local government, rural development and co-operatives ministry, will now be only responsible for the local government division.
Minister of State Shwapan Bhattacharjee has been put on charge of rural development and co-operatives divisions, says a Cabinet Division circular issued on Sunday (May 19).
A technocrat member of the cabinet, Mustafa Jabbar will be now focusing only on post and telecommunications while State Minister Zunaid Ahmed Palak will singlehandedly deal information and communication (ICT) division.
State Minister Md Murad Hasan, who was given the portfolio of health and family welfare when Awami League took office for the third straight term, has been reappointed as the state minister of information ministry.
