Farhatullah Babar, spokesman to President Asif Zardari, on Saturday deplored the allegations levelled by former Punjab chief minister Shahbaz Sharif against the president.
Shahbaz had said President Zardari was involved in making postings and transfers of senior officials. The president has nothing to do with recent postings and transfers in the federal and provincial bureaucracy and all postings and transfers have been made by the caretaker governments, he said.
Babar said the Presidency had dissociated itself from recent postings and transfers. If the government-in-waiting had reservations it should ask the caretakers to review their decision, he said. The Presidency would be as much detached and unmoved if these postings were cancelled or reviewed as it has been when these were first made, Babar said.
