ISLAMABAD: Iftikhar Durrani, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Media Affairs has stepped down as he was formally removed from his post on Tuesday after Prime Minister Imran Khan accepted his resignation nearly two months after sacking him.
Media reports had emerged in December last year, claiming that Durrani has been sacked from his post. The reports further suggested that following his removal, Durrani’s name has also been struck off from the cabinet list.
However, when contacted, Durrani had said he has not received any information about his removal.
Iftikhar Durrani had played a key role in representation of the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) during the infamous Panama case, and FATA elections. During the July 2018 general elections, he had actively participated in the campaign for gathering support of the public for the party.
In November last year, Yousuf Baig Mirza had tendered his resignation for the same post.
