PESHAWAR: Though expected for some time, the resignation of two advisors and one special assistant to Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Saturday created a crisis-like situation in the government as well as in the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) circles.
There were speculations that after seeking approval from Prime Minister Imran Khan, the chief minister would sack some of his cabinet members and change portfolios of a few other ministers.
It was quite a lengthy list of ministers, advisors and special assistants supposed to be either de-notified or have their portfolios changed, but some of them are believed to have survived the so-called ‘clean-up’ operation.
PESHAWAR: Three aides to the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief minister resigned from their respective positions here on Saturday.
They included adviser on science and information technology Ziaullah Bangash, adviser on energy and power Himayatullah Khan and special assistant on excise and taxation Ghazi Ghazan Jamal, who cited ‘personal and unavoidable circumstances’ as reasons for quitting their offices.
The development comes on the heels of the induction of four new ministers, including former senior minister Mohammad Atif Khan, Shakeel Khan, Abdul Shakoor Khan and Faisal Amin Khan, who were sworn in on Monday.
A notification issued by the administration department said in exercise of powers conferred by Section 3 of the KP Advisers and Special Assistants to Chief Minister (Appointment) Act 1989, the governor of the province had accepted the resignations of Himayatullah Khan, Ziaullah Khan Bangash and Ghazi Ghazan Jamal.
