Islamabad, Oct 1 (PTI) Prime Minister Imran Khan has indicated a Cabinet reshuffle after some leaders of the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) party complained about "non-cooperation" of some ministers in addressing people's grievances.
The issue of non-cooperative attitude of ministers came up during a PTI parliamentary party meeting on Monday, a senior leader told PTI.

According to a Dawn newspaper report, former minister and PTI leader Asad Umar has said that Khan has hinted at his return to the Cabinet.
