Chohan, however, quit the office after the intervention of a senior official of the Chief Minister's Secretariat. The minister was told that the said office was reserved for the spokesperson of the chief minister so he would have to leave this office.
Khan said Chohan was not even aware of his third time departure from the information ministry's portfolio.
