Nilofar unresigns
2007-05-24
Federal Minister for Tourism Nilofar Bakhtiar has decided to withdraw her resignation after directives from Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz and Pakistan Muslim League (PML) President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain and she will resume her duties at her office from today.

PML sources said that the partyÂ’s Central Executive Committee unanimously endorsed a resolution a couple of days ago rejecting Ms BakhtiarÂ’s resignation. The resolution, which was tabled by senior PML leader Kabir Ali Wasti and Foreign Minister Khurshid Mehmood Kasuri, demanded that the prime minister intervene in the matter, reject Ms BakhtiarÂ’s resignation and direct her to resume her duties. The sources also said that Hussain and PML Secretary General Mushahid Hussain Sayed held a separate meeting with Ms Bakhtiar and asked her to withdraw her resignation from the office of tourism minister. Ms Bakhtiar finally agreed to withdraw the resignation, the sources added. Ms Bakhtiar also met President Pervez Musharraf on Wednesday, who asked her to continue as tourism minister.
