Fayyazul Hassan quits 5-Club Road office after Hasaan Khawar's 'protest': Imran Yaqub Khan

Khan broke the news in GNN programme View Point's special segment Waqfan-e-Haal.

He said Chohan left the office of Chief Minister's spokesman after the intervention of a senior official.

Chohan, earlier, refused to quit the office and asked Khawar's staff to leave as he could retain the office being Punjab Prisons minister.

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.
