SC sends home 53 FIA officials inducted in 1989
ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered immediate removal of 53 Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) employees, who had been inducted in 1989-90 during the Pakistan Peoples Party government, from service. Headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Gulzar Ahmed, a three-member SC bench also asked FIA Director General Wajid Zia to furnish a compliance report after removing the officers, who were appointed without codal formalities after bypassing Federal Public Service Commission (FPSC) exams and interviews. Originally, 58 employees were appointed — nine assistant directors (BS-17), 11 inspectors (BS-16), 23 sub-inspectors (BS-14) and 15 ASIs (BS-09) — by the PPP’s defunct placement bureau. In compliance with the earlier directives, the FIA director general also submitted a report explaining that a number of ad hoc employees were appointed in the FIA in 1989 in different ranks by the placement bureau. CJP-led bench also asks FIA chief to furnish a compliance report While the federa
PM to monitor case against Tareen, not to influence FIA
• Meets parliamentarians supporting Tareen • Forms committee to look into lawmakers’ concerns • FIA officer probing case against Tareen, son removed ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Tuesday categorically said the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) would not be influenced to give relief to the disgruntled leader of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI), Jahangir Tareen, in the sugar scam probe but he would personally look into the matter to avoid any political victimisation in the case. He was talking to a delegation of some pro-Tareen lawmakers who called on him. Punjab Governor Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar was also present in the meeting. The head of the MNAs’ delegation, Raja Riaz, told media after attending the meeting that Prime Minister Khan had assured them that he would personally look into the case and ensure that no injustice was meted out to anyone. “We have full confidence that the prime minister will not do injustice to anyone,” he said. Interestingly, the prime ministe
Fiscal deficit at 3.5pc of GDP in eight months of current fiscal
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s fiscal deficit has reached 3.5 per cent of GDP (Rs1.603 trillion) in first eight months (July-February) of current fiscal year even though the government boasts of having created over Rs1.7tr worth of fresh tax demand. The eight-month deficit is slightly lower than 3.7pc of GDP or Rs1.613tr of same period last year when the country finally posted 8.1pc of annual budget deficit — one of the highest. In its April 2021 Monthly Economic Update and Outlook, the ministry of finance has raised concern on account of third wave of the Covid-19 pandemic threatening economic concerns and putting pressure on recovery, but said timely government decisions and small lockdown policy were helping the economy to keep its pace of recovery. The ministry said the government was maintaining fiscal deficit despite higher mark-up payments and pandemic-related expenditures. “The fiscal deficit has been contained to 3.5pc of GDP during July-February FY2021 compared to 3.7pc of GDP last
