Lt-Gen (Retd) Asim Saleem Bajwa on Monday announced he was stepping down as Special Assistant to the Prime Minister (SAPM) on Information and Broadcasting. This comes over month after he submitted his resignation to PM Imran.“I requested the honourable prime minister to relinquish me from the additional portfolio of SAPM on Info & broadcasting. He very kindly approved my request,” he tweeted. He will continue to work as chairman of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor Authority.
Gen Bajwa 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. The official PTI Twitter account had quoted the premier as saying that he was satisfied with the evidence provided by Bajwa about his family’s assets. He had also directed him to continue working as the SAPM on information and broadcasting.
