PM Imran has refused to accept Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Information Asim Saleem Bajwa's resignation on Saturday, telling him to carry on as his aide.

According to the Prime Minister's Office, Bajwa forwarded his resignation to the prime minister today which was rejected.

The prime minister was quoted as saying that he was satisfied with Bajwa's clarification on his assets.

The head of the media's former military wing had revealed on Thursday night that he would hand in his resignation to the prime minister on Friday.

Bajwa said he would also request the premier to relieve him of his duties as his special assistant on information.

The retired general said that he would continue his work as Chairman China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) Authority.

Bajwa had said that the premier’s priority is CPEC "and I believe as well that this project is the country’s future".

“I hope that the prime minister will allow me to concentrate all my focus on CPEC," he added.
