Khan, of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), had been serving as an advisor to Maryam since the programme's inception. She is also the central chief organiser of PML-N Women Youth Wing.
The youth programme hot-seat fell vacant after Maryam Nawaz Sharif resigned in November, with her appointment under scrutiny in court.
A statement released on Thursday said that she will oversee the PMYP purely on honorary basis, and will not draw any salary or perks, privileges.
On November 12, Maryam had tendered her resignation as chairperson of the programme. In a statement, she had said that it was an appropriate moment to hand over the reigns of the programme to another equally dedicated individual.
“This programme is here to stay and will touch new heights in days, weeks and months ahead.”
She added that though she is resigning from the youth loan programme, she intends to continue her ‘voluntary service’ for Pakistan and its people.

Guys This lade is a MNA and any representative of public that is MNA can hold this office. This is enough qualifications. Later based on her decision making and hiring of right people or wrong people she can be judged in next elections and voted out!
@Adnan siddiqi! the only wrongdoing is the fact that there are people more educated,more energetic, more deserving,yet not in the family of sharifs,neither in the friends of sharifs..ofcourse among us!
@Adnan Siddiqiif you are not a judge why should u be given right of vote to propel these old lot with new directions from army like wise
@Adnan Siddiqi: Can't we argue on having a fair system that elects/hires the most competent person? I mean you guys have done blind just because you support a party!
@Adnan Siddiqi As a citizen of Pakistan I'm only concerned with what my Govt is doing with my Tax money, whatever the PTI or PMLN members do within a party is limited to them only. & any wrong doing in any party ranks does not justify the wrong doings of ruling Sharif dynasty.
@ayaz khan:
Notwithstanding but its still a violation of PTI's constitution. When one is talking about ethics and morality across the board, reasoning like public and private offices should not be of any consequence.
@Adnan Siddiqi: Jehangir Tareen is not holding a public office
..... so this is change ?........ Nawaz Sharif will never change.
Again the same old show. This has become contrite and basi. PMLN is a confused mess. Salams
@Ranjha:
Care to tell us as to what are the qualifications of Jahangir Tareen which led him to become the "Unelected" Secretary General of PTI besides him being the sole breadwinner for IK?
Now, whose relative is she?
"she had said that it was an appropriate moment to hand over the reigns of the programme to another equally dedicated individual"
Uh oh... one had hoped for better!
carry on jutta
I hear she is a relative of Mian Mansha
And what is her educational and/or other qualifications other than being the secretary of Princess Maryam?
She does not need any salary. She has already double dipped, triple dipped. The money is overseas. The job stays in the family Within trusted lackeys. Facilitating more future 'dips' in the scheme accounts/money.......by Sharifs.
well come to same very connected lot
