Asim Bajwa to resign from the post of Special Assistant

Lt. General (retd) Asim Saleem Bajwa has announced to resign from the post of special assistant to the Prime Minister on Information and Broadcasting on Thursday.

According to details, Bajwa said that he wants to resign from the post of special assistant, however, will continue to work as the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) Chairman as he wants to pay full attention to the project.

While talking on a private news channel, Bajwa said that he will submit his resignation to Prime Minister Imran Khan soon.

Gen. (R) Asim Bajwa denies the allegations in a Press Release

It is to be noted that a journalist Ahmad Noorani in his story on a website called Fact Focus accused Asim Saleem Bajwa of corruption.  In his story he said that, “The growth of the Bajwa family’s business empire in the United States and later in Pakistan directly matches the rise in power of retired general Asim Saleem Bajwa, who is now chairman of the country’s massive China-financed infrastructure project and a special assistant to the prime minister.”

However, in a statement issued on Twitter today, Bajwa wrote that he strongly denies the allegations and Ahmad Noorani posted false news against him.

“I strongly rebut the baseless allegations leveled against me and my family. Alhamdolillah another attempt to damage our reputation belied/exposed. I have and will always serve Pakistan with pride and dignity,” the tweet read.
