Naib nazim resigns over minister's remarks

Report Bashir Hussain Azad, Chitral

District Naib Nazim and convener of the District Council Chitral Sultan Shah has tendered resignation from the post against some remarks passed by Provincial Minister Saleem Khan about the house on Thursday.

Earlier, the minister had been invited to address the house, which was on its monthly session at the end of which some members of the house asked questions from him. Some of the pinching questions irritated the minister who said he was not answerable to the house, and with this left the house. The house members then made a rumpus objecting to the remarks of the minister on which the convener announced his resignation and said with the insult of the house he would not like to chair its session any more. Sources in the Council secretariat said as per procedure, the resignation of the convener is being sent to the District Nazim for further action.--Chitraltoday.com
