Lahore: Outgoing Punjab Information Minister Fayyazul Hassan Chohan had to quit his office situated at 5-Club Road after intervention from the newly-appointed Special Assistant to the Punjab Chief on Information Hassan Khawar, senior journalist and analyst Imran Yaqub Khan disclosed on Saturday.
Khan broke the news in GNN programme View Point's special segment Waqfan-e-Haal.

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.
He said even more than 95 per cent journalists are not aware of the background of newly-appointed special assistant.
