departments -- Health, Planning and Development and Local Bodies -- instead of insisting on education ministry of the provincial government, Dawn learnt reliably on Sunday.
The PTI had earlier offered three ministries -- Finance, Education and Zakat & Ushr -- to the JI after the two parties formally agreed on a power-sharing formula in the KP. But it later denied education office to JI.
To avoid prolonging a deadlock on the issue, the JI big shot Sirajul Haq met with the PTI chief Imran Khan

here on Sunday in presence of KP Chief Minister Pervaiz Khattak.
"In the meeting, the PTI leadership requested us not to insist on education ministry and select any of the three departments (local bodies, planning and development or health). Since the PTI leadership claimed to have worked a lot in the (KP's) education sector, it asked us to accept its own minister for the provincial department," JI Chief Syed Munawar Hasan told Dawn.
He said since his party believed in contributing in the KP government being an important coalition partner, it started thinking about the new PTI proposal.
"We are not fond of ministries. We just wanted the education office because of our experience during the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal government's tenure in the province in the past. But the PTI's fresh proposal is not bad as we can choose any of the three
departments," Mr Hasan added.
