Video: Fayyaz Chohan shocked on removal as Punjab info minister

LAHORE: Punjab information minister Fayyaz ul Hassan Chohan was shocked when he got to know that he had been removed from his portfolio.

A video emerged on social media in which Chohan can be seen interacting with a group of journalists and reporters. One of them asks him whether he knew about the incident or not.

“I have no knowledge of this,” he can be seen in the video saying, looking shocked. “I am telling you, I am not aware of this [decision to remove him as Punjab info minister]”.

The Government of Punjab released a notification on Monday in which it announced that Chohan will no longer be the info minister. He remains the minister for colonies, though.

Two Punjab ministers were also reshuffled with Chohan. Former SAPM on information, Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan has been appointed special assistant to the chief minister of Punjab.
