31 August New Delhi
Veteran politician and former Union minister from Jammu and Kashmir Mohammad Shafi Qureshi has been appointed as the chairman of the National Minorities Commission, official sources said.
Qureshi, 77, who had served as a minister in the Indira Gandhi government, is likely to take over on September 3 to become the first person from Jammu and Kashmir to occupy the post which fell vacant after Mohammed Hamid Ansari's election as Vice-President.
On being approached by the Centre, Qureshi gave his consent for appointment to the post recently.
An official announcement of Qureshi's announcement is likely in a day or two.
