"Socio-economic-educational empowerment of minorities will be our priority. Honest and transparent efforts will be made so that fruits of development reach last person of the society," Naqvi said.

Naqvi was given independent charge of the portfolio after Najma Heptulla stepped down from the post of Union Minority Affairs Minister yesterday due to "personal" reasons.
