Rumours were rife in the federal capital on Friday that Nilofar Bukhtiar has resigned as federal tourism minister. Ms Bukhtiar was not available for comment, but one of her close aides insisted that she had resigned. “She resigned in protest to her removal as president of the Pakistan Muslim League’s Women Wing and appointment of Women’s Development and Youth Affairs Minister Sumaira Malik in her place,” the aide claimed. Official channels expressed their ignorance about just about everything, inshallah the issue. |
