Nadeem Afzal Chan quits as PM’s spokesperson

ISLAMABAD: Senior politician Nadeem Afzal Chan has reportedly resigned from the position of spokesperson to Prime Minister Imran Khan.

Quoting sources, media reported that the reason behind Chan’s departure was due to PM Imran Khan’s delay in visiting the Machh massacre victims’ families who were demanding justice by staging a protest in freezing temperatures on Quetta’s Western Bypass.

The Sargodha-based politician is yet to confirm or deny the reports.

On January 8, in a statement on Twitter, Chan had written: “O the bodies of the helpless, innocent labourers, I am ashamed.”

In a meeting earlier today, PM Imran Khan had criticised his aides and ministers for disagreeing with the PTI government’s official policies — leading Chan to resign.
