ISLAMABAD: (UrduPoint/UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News-May 8th, 2020) Federal Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry has said the federation is left with nothing as huge amount of money is distributed among all provinces under NFC Award.
The Federal Minister said that his party was not in the favor of withdrawing powers from the provinces but there was great need of reviewing formula for NFC award.
He expressed these views while giving an interview to BBC here on Friday.

He believed that Chief Ministers were more powerful than the Prime Minister during his interview.
He also denied that there was any deal with PML-N Supremo and former three-time Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on amendment in the NAB laws.
Later, Fawad Chaudhary took to Twitter to share a video of his meeting with Prime Minister Imran Khan at Prime Minister Office in Islamabad.
