ISLAMABAD: President Mamnoon Hussain has accepted and signed the advice of the Prime Minister to terminate Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) chairman Chaudhry Rashid Ahmad declaring the appointment ab-initio (illegal from the very beginning).


An official statement from the Presidency said the appointment of Chaudhry Rashid Ahmad as per requirement was neither open nor transparent.
It said the appointment was violative of SCP guidelines and orders in acting chairman Pemra case and in K. Asif vs State case.


"Chaudhry Rashid being Secretary Information and serving government employee initiated a summary proposing himself as a candidate of chairman Pemra without carrying out an open and transparent process of appointment," the statement said.

So Nawaz Sharif is too much concerned about whether the appointment of high officials of NADRA and PEMRA were on merit or not? While on the other hand he has appointed his own daughter as chair person of PM Youth Scheme who has no qualification for the post whatsoever.
 
Looks like Nawazu has bought influence in Geo.
 
lol another desperate move from govt fired back? :lol:
 
Does Nawaz Shariff, from any action of his, proves to be a third time Prime minister of this country?? By now he should have gained enough know how as to not make such moronic decisions but the man seems to be immune from all logic and reason.

Very very good point @Jazzbot!! I hope some Noora can respond to this and defend his idiotic leader.

Also add to your point that looking at the amount of rigging Nawaz himself has no merit to be PM.

Can Nawaz give us breakdown of Rs 380 billion of public money he spent on paying circular debt? Can he tell us how his daughter has become chariman of pa program which is distributing public money to dont know who?
