PML-N internal rift has started to appear over the issue of the Federal Cabinet portfolios as PML-N leader Danyal Aziz refused to take oath on undesired portfolio.

Daniyal Aziz had arrived at the President House here to take part in the oath-taking ceremony as he was among the newcomers in the cabinet.

However, upon learning that he has been allotted a state ministry rather than a federal portfolio, he ducked out the venue.

He had expressed a desire for one of federal portfolios but the ruling party allotted him a state ministry, angering him over the party decision, sources said.
