Advisor to the prime minister on national harmony Dr. Paul Bhatti, violated rules and regulations of the government and hired Aneela Neilson as his Personal Secretary (PS) despite the fact that a 18 grade official is already serving on the same post.
Reliable sources in the Ministry of National Harmony told news agencies that Khalid Saeed was already working in the ministry as a grade 18 PS. But Aneela was hired on the same post by Dr. Bhatti a few months ago even when the post was not vacant.
A senior government official on the condition of anonymity said that he was not expecting such a blatant violation of rules and regulations by the government while adding that Dr. Bhatti had wasted national resources by hiring another PS on a lucrative package in the presence of a senior official who was already working on the same position.
He also said that currently the country was facing severe economic crisis and demanded from Dr. Bhatti to stop Aneela from carrying out official duties to save precious resources from getting wasted.
It is worth mentioning here that Dr. Bhatti is a medical doctor by profession who was serving in Italy before his brother former federal minister Shahbaz Bhatti was killed by radicals for demanding an amendment in the blasphemy law. Later, he was made advisor to the prime minister.
