He stated that the federal government has promoted incompetent officers while ignoring deserving and qualified officials. According to him, the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) have violated merit by promoting their favored officers.<br \/>\nBarrister Dr. Saif further claimed that promotions from Grade 19 to Grade 22 have been distributed among unqualified and preferred officers, sidelining senior and capable officials. He alleged that junior and incompetent officers were given precedence over more experienced and deserving candidates.<br \/>\nHe asserted that the only criterion for promotion was suppressing Imran Khan and the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). Officers who supported the government\u2019s authoritarian actions against PTI were rewarded with promotions, while those who refused to comply were deliberately overlooked.<br \/>\nBarrister Dr. Saif further stated that, driven by animosity towards Imran Khan, the so-called \u2018fake government\u2019 has brought the bureaucracy to the brink of destruction. He warned that after controlling the judiciary, efforts are now being made to exert influence over the bureaucracy as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DLP Report PESHAWAR Barrister Dr. Muhammad Ali Saif, Advisor to the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Information and Public Relations, has strongly criticized the recent promotions in the federal bureaucracy, alleging a blatant disregard for merit.
