Federal govt refuses to appoint new Punjab Chief Secretary. The federal government on Thursday refused to appoint a new Punjab Chief Secretary (CS), rejecting the three names proposed by Punjab Chief Minister.

According to details, CM Elahi proposed three names for the administrative post but it has been discarded by the federal government.

The names of Ahmed Nawaz, Abdullah Khan Sumbal and Babar Hayat Tarar were proposed in a letter written to Establishment Division.

Earlier in August, Punjab Chief Secretary (CS) Kamran Ali Afzal wrote a letter to the federal government, requesting that his services be withdrawn with immediate effect. The letter was addressed to Establishment Secretary Inamullah Khan.

Afzal’s appointment was approved in September 2021 when PTI’s Usman Buzdar was in charge. He was the fifth Punjab chief secretary during the three years of the previous PTI-led government.

The federal government on Wednesday decided to move Supreme Court SC for disqualification of former prime minister and PTI chief Imran Khan and ban on his party.

The decision was taken in a meeting of law experts headed by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in Islamabad. The meeting was also attended by the leaders of the coalition parties.

The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Tuesday announced the much-awaited verdict in the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) prohibited funding case.

The ECP bench in its reserved verdict said prohibited funding against PTI has been proven.
