Aftab Sultan resigned as the chairman of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Tuesday, he confirmed to Dawn.com.
Sultan was appointed to the post of the head of the anti-corruption watchdog by the incumbent government last year in July after retired Justice Javed Iqbal had relinquished charge as the NAB chairman.
A statement issued by the Prime Minister’s Office stated that Sultan had presented his resignation to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif citing personal reasons.
“The prime minister appreciated the services of Mr Aftab Sultan and lauded his honesty and uprightness. Upon his insistence, the prime minister reluctantly accepted the resignation of Mr Sultan,” it added.
