Farogh Naseem returns to cabinet three days after resignation

Senator Farogh Naseem on Friday returned to the federal cabinet after defending Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa in the Supreme Court.

President Arif Alvi administered the oath to Naseem at the President House.

Naseem had resigned on Tuesday to fight General Bajwa's case in the Supreme Court regarding his extension of service.

The senator had to step down as law minister as his license was suspended by the Pakistan Bar Council as he was a member of the federal cabinet. According to the laws, Naseem had to resign from his cabinet post to take up his private practice.
