The government sent a summary to the president for the suspension of Dr Ghulam Muhammad Ali, the chairman of the Pakistan Agricultural Research Council (Parc) for his poor performance, despite the fact that he was awarded the prestigious Sitara-e-Imtiaz award only two weeks ago.
Dr Ali was among the national honours list on Pakistan Day on March 23. He was given the award for his excellent work in the field of agriculture. The next day he received PM Shehbaz Sharif at a seminar on aeroponic potato farming organised by Parc. On the occasion the PM enquired about cotton cultivation but Dr Ali replied that he was not being allowed to work in that field.
