PTI challenges Asma Hamid’s appointment as Punjab Advocate General

Writes letter to chief election commissioner and Punjab caretaker CM

Islamabad (Pakistan Point News – 29th May, 2018) Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has demanded to dismiss the recent appointment of first female Advocate General of Punjab Asma Hamid.

According to media reports, Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif did this important appointment just two days before the government is going to be dissolved. The PTI said that will become a challenge for caretaker government and Election Commission.

The PTI has written a letter to chief election commissioner and Punjab caretaker chief minister in this regard. The letter has been written by PTI spokesperson Fawad Chaudhry.

The PTI has demanded in the letter to immediately dismiss Asma Hamid’s appointment.

Expressing its reservations, the PTI said that appointments based on favoritism are an attempt of pre-poll election rigging. Asma Hamid has been appointed to return the favor.

The PTI is of the view that Asma’s qualification is only of loyalty and contact with the Sharif family. Asma’s father and uncle are Sharif family loyalists.

The incumbent government will complete its term on May 31. Following this, a caretaker set up will be put in place that will be responsible to hold general elections.
