The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has ordered the removal of Special Assistant to Chief Minister Mashal Yousafzai from her position, it emerged on Saturday. A letter from the Chief Minister’s Secretariat to the secretary of the KP government’s administration department, dated November 29, said: “CM KP has directed that Miss Mashal Azam, special assistant to CM KP, may immediately be de-notified.” It ordered that necessary action regarding the matter be taken at the earliest under intimation to the secretariat. The development comes following an interview of Yousafzai, who is also the spokesperson for PTI founder Imran Khan’s spouse Bushra Bibi. Speaking on the show about the events surrounding the November 24 protest called by PTI, she spoke about Bushra Bibi’s participation in the protest and subsequent return to KP. Asked whether Bushra Bibi was taken forcefully from the protest, Yousafzai had said: “This is correct that she didn’t want to go from there, the reason she came back [from the site of the protest] was that there was direct firing on her car. “Still, she didn’t want to go but then there was some chemical thrown on her car’s windscreen which blurred it and nothing was visible.
