, Minister for Information and Broadcasting Dr. Firdous Ashiq Awan said that the cabinet discussed the issue in detail and unanimously approved to reopen the case.

"The Cabinet gave unanimous approval for the reopening of Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto's murder case, however the details would be given by Minister for Law in a couple of days," she remarked.

She said that it is a full decampedged legal procedure and we all must wait for its verdict as it is pre-mature to say anything at this stage.

Briefing media about the Cabinet decisions, the minister said that the cabinet also approved the devolution of five ministries to provinces which includes Ministry of Education, Culture, Special Education, Livestock and Dairy Development and Ministry of Tourism.

The minister informed that the meeting took strong exception of desecration of Holy Koran and condemned it strongly.

"There is need to raise collective voice in this regard as Pakistain is not the only Mohammedan country in the region," she added.

"Mohammedan countries must have unanimous point of view on the issue as it is our collective responsibility and our voice will not be effective until and unless we form common strategy," the minister added.

Dr. Firdous categorically stated that President Asif Ali President Ten Percent Zardari

made a call to his Turkish counterpart on the desecration of Holy Koran and both the leaders condemned the act in strongest words.

She said that the Cabinet also discussed the implementation of different development projects and urged the concerned ministries to evolve proper arrangements for their completion within the stipulated time.

Answering a question regarding drone attacks, the minister said that the Cabinet condemned the attacks on Pak soil and conveyed its reservations on the killing of innocent people.
