Asim Bajwa quits charge as SAPM after PM Imran accepts his resignation

Islamabad (Web Desk): Prime Minister Imran Khan on Monday accepted Lt Gen (retd) Asim Saleem Bajwa’s resignation as his special assistant on information and broadcasting.

“I requested the honourable prime minister to relinquish me from the additional portfolio of SAPM on Info & broadcasting. He very kindly approved my request,” Asim Bajwa said in a tweet.

Former general had submitted his resignation from the post of special assistant to the premier last month, in the wake of allegations levelled regarding his family’s assets. However, the premier had refused to accept his resignation at the time.

Meanwhile, Bajwa will continue to work as chairman of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) Authority.
