ISLAMABAD: Citing personal reasons, Focal Person to Prime Minister on Information Analytics Fahad Haroon has resigned from his post.
Fahad Haroon has been serving as Prime Minister Imran Khan’s focal person for media and information since March last year. Haroon has cited personal reasons behind tendering his resignation but has not specified what are those.
Haroon has been associated with different news channels, both TV and radio, as their higher up. Haroon is said to be the man behind strict restrictions over media and an administration of a private news channel accused him of revoking their license.
Declaring the order suspending PEMRA’s license illegal, the private TV channel (24News) claimed on July 3 this year that Fahad Haroon had mysteriously been seen in the PEMRA office.
Earlier, Jamshed Iqbal Cheema, special assistant to Prime Minister Imran Khan for national food security, resigned from his post, but his intention was to contest the NA-133 by-election.
Special Assistant Jamshed Iqbal Cheema submitted his resignation to Prime Minister Imran Khan five days ago. Tehreek-e-Insaf became the first political party to nominate a candidate for by-elections, but other parties could not nominate a candidate.
