Nadra took to Twitter saying that the new chairman resumed his duties on first day in office. He also directed the officials to deliver their duties wholeheartedly.<br \/>\nIn his resignation letter, Malik urged the Prime Minister to appoint a professional and technical person to replace him, rather than a serving or retired bureaucrat. He had also noted that Nadra could not further undergo political experimentation.<br \/>\nIt is also said that Gilani\u2019s appointment comes amidst pressure on Malik to step down after reports emerged that officials of the authority were involved in the personal data leak. However, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah denied that the resignation of the Nadra chairman had anything to do with the data leak issue. He asserted that action had already been taken against all individuals involved in the leak.<br \/>\nSome experts criticised the government\u2019s handling of the situation and voiced the need for a thorough professional with a background in technology and management instead of a serving bureaucrat to lead the organisation, stating that Nadra cannot afford such crises. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD Asad Rehman Gilani, a grade-22 officer of the Pakistan Administrative Service and currently serving as secretary to the Board of Investment, assumed additional charge as the new chairman of the National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra) on Saturday.
