ISLAMABAD, April 26 (Online): Federal government has started removing the officers from their posts who were found involved in misuse of their powers under the directives of former Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan.
These officers are involved in initiating action illegally against the politicians of the opposition parties and the journalists and media houses opposed to the then PTI led government.
According to sources following the removal of DG FIA Sana Ullah Abbasi from his post, Director FIA Sindh zone Aamir Farooq has also been removed from his post and he has been appointed as director law in head office.
Deputy Commissioner Hamza Shafqat has also been transferred and it has been decided in principle to remove chairman federal board of revenue Dr Ashfaq.
According to official sources Dr Ashfaq not only misused his powers against senior judge of Supreme Court Qazi Faez Isa under the former PM Imran Khan orders but also spent millions of pounds from national kitty in the name of collecting evidence and documents from foreign countries against Justice Qazi Faez Isa by using FBR officers but all proved unproductive.
Sources said decision has been taken to remove FBR commissioners and assistant commissioners who harassed anti Imran media houses and journalists by sending them baseless notices.
Under the directives of Dr Ashfaq, the task for sending notices to the journalists was assigned to assistant commissioner Sajid Ali. It has been decided to remove him too from his post.
PM Shahbaz Sharif has sought names from finance ministry for appointment of new chairman FBR.
On the other hand chairman CDA and chief commissioner Amir Ahmad Ali are also being removed and PM has sought panel of officers to appoint them in their place.
