Prime Minister Imran Khan has appointed his close friend Zulfi Bukhari as his special assistant on overseas Pakistanis and human resource development.

Being a special assistant, Zulfi will have the status of state minister.

A notification in this regard has been issued by the cabinet division. “The prime minister has been pleased to appoint, with effect from [Sept 14, 2018], Sayed Zulfiqar Abbas Bukhari as Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development, with the status of minister of state,” the notification read.

Zulfi is a close aid of the prime minister and was given the charge of PTI’s election campaign in NA-53 for the July 25 polls.

His name was put on ECL after the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) initiated an inquiry against him on the accusations of owning off-shore companies in the British Virgin Islands and owning assets beyond his known source of income.
