His resignation has been accepted by the premier. Durrani maintained that despite leaving the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government he had full confidence in PM Imran’s leadership and he would continue to work as a member of the party.
The resignation is a surprise considering Durrani was not only removed as SAPM but also from the attendee list of the federal cabinet meetings in December 2019. At the time, Durrani had maintained he was clueless over the removal.
But the PTI leader continued staying at the Minister's Enclave. He is expected to vacate it now that the resignation has been formally accepted.
A month before Durrani's sacking, Yousuf Baig Mirza also resigned as SAPM on Media Affairs. Mirza, who previously served as managing director of Pakistan Television (PTV) and other private tv channels, claimed he wanted to pursue media industry.
It may be noted here that the post for PM's aide on media affairs remains vacant since December 2019.
