Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar has removed Fayyaz-ul-Hassan Chohan and appointed Hasaan Khawar as the provincial government spokesperson.
Khawar will now hold the post of the Special Assistant to the Chief Minister on Information and Special Initiatives.
Chohan was appointed spokesperson of the Punjab government in August.
He was previously serving as Punjab Minister of Prisons since August 2018. He had also served as the provincial minister for information.
The Punjab government has appointed spokespersons to help streamline the information dissemination process, defend its stance, and notify the public of its policies.
PML-N REACTION: Party’s provincial spokesperson Uzma Bukhari said that she regrets the removal of Chohan from office.
Shehbaz Gill, Fayyaz ul Hassan Chohan, and Firdous Ashiq Awan have suffered the most during the last three years, she added.
“It is not the fault of the spokesperson but Buzdar’s performance has been disappointing,” she continued.
“How can somebody defend Buzdar’s performance?” she questioned, adding that “he wants to secure 100 marks by submitting a blank paper in every exam.”
There is not a single minister in the Punjab cabinet who considers Buzdar a chief minister,” she maintained.
