ISLAMABAD: Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on overseas Pakistanis Syed Zulfiqar Bukhari has resigned from his post over the ongoing Rawalpindi Ring Road scandal.
Zulfi Bukhari announced his resignation through a tweet on Monday, in which he said that the Prime Minister has always said that if a person has been named in any inquiry, whether rightly or wrongly, he should cease to hold any public office till his name has been cleared of the charges.
“Owing to the allegations in ongoing Ring Road inquiry I want to set this example by resigning from office until my name is cleared up of any allegations and media’s obnoxious lies”, he added.
He reiterated that he had nothing to do with the Rawalpindi Ring Road or any other ongoing real estate project in the country.
