President Asif Ali Zardari on Tuesday approved the resignation of former Punjab Governor Makhdoom Syed Ahmad Mahmood and authorised the Punjab Assembly speaker to perform the functions until the appointment of a new governor.
The president gave the approval on the advice of the prime minister.
It may be recalled that the Punjab governor had tendered his resignation in May 2013, which was sent to the Cabinet Division after the approval of the president for further processing in June 2013.
