Rana Sanaullah has been appointed Pakistan’s new Minister for Inter-Provincial Coordination (IPC), a position that involves supervision of the nation’s sports sector, in a major reorganization of the government.The announcement comes as Ahsan Iqbal’s relieved from his additional responsibilities as the IPC minister. Ahsan Iqbal is the current Minister for Planning, Development, and Special Initiatives.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s recommendation led to President Asif Ali Zardari approving Rana Sanaullah’s appointment as the Political and Public Affairs Advisor.The development of interprovincial harmony and the maintenance of unified national policy across a range of industries, including sports, depend heavily on the IPC Ministry. Azam Nazeer, Attaullah Tarar, Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui, and Shiza Fatima were among the federal ministers on the newly established committee on social media law, which Sanaullah was recently nominated to lead. Sanaullah is expected to concentrate on modernizing the sports facilities, encouraging athletic ability throughout the provinces, and resolving the administrative issues that have hindered the expansion of sports in Pakistan in his role as the next IPC minister.In addition to his main duties, Ahsan Iqbal formerly handled the IPC responsibility. He has indicated support for the new appointment.
It will be fascinating to watch how the recently appointed IPC minister works for the development of sports infrastructure in the nation. The Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) is also under the oversight of the IPC ministry.
