ISLAMABAD: A resolution seeking removal of State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) Governor Tariq Bajwa was submitted in the Senate on Monday.
The resolution which was signed by 40 senators stated that Bajwa’s appointment was not as per State Bank of Pakistan’s rules and his appointment is not in line with the law.
The federal government had appointed former bureaucrat Tariq Bajwa as the new governor of the State Bank on July 7.
The seat had been vacant since Ashraf Mehmood Wathra completion of his three-year term as the SBP governor in April.
Bajwa had retired last month from his post as finance secretary.
Tariq Bajwa is most honest, trustworthy, reliable and very intelligent person I have ever met. He is quite fit for the post of Governor of State Bank of Pakistan. May we know why his appointment is not as per Statement Bank of Pakistan’s rules and his appointment is not in line with the Law.
