FIA director dismissed: reports
Govt dismisses services of Sajjad Haider, an NRO beneficiary who was working for Interior Minister Rehman Malik.
ISLAMABAD:
The government has dismissed the services of director, Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Sajjad Haider, another NRO beneficiary who was working as a senior staff officer for Interior Minister Rehman Malik, TV channels claimed on Sunday night.
However, director general FIA Waseem Ahmad did not confirm the news, saying “I can assure you that the services of Sajjad Haider have not been dismissed so far.”
The FIA director was twice dismissed from his services in 2001 after a departmental inquiry proved him guilty in charges of corruption. Malik reappointed Haider as his senior staff officer last week, amid criticism by many government offices. The interior ministry is yet to confirm reports of Haider’s dismissal.
