On Thursday, SAPM Asim Bajwa had announced to quit in a TV interview. He said he will request the premier to release him from the responsibility as he wanted to focus on CPEC Authority projects.
Bajwa said with every passing day, Chinese interest in the CPEC was increasing and thus, it requires his special attention, as the mega project is the future of Pakistan’s economy.
The shocking statement of his resignation came hours after he rebutted the corruption allegations against him and his family in a four-page document. Taking to Twitter, Bajwa said that he has and will always serve Pakistan with dignity.
In response to a question, former DG ISPR said that as a Pakistani, he is accountable to provide money trail for his investment and that he has all the documents to support his claim.
