Prime Minister Imran Khan’s aide Aown Chaudhry has been appointed as an adviser to the Punjab chief minister, it was reported on Monday.
Aown Chaudhry, a Lahore-based businessman and former husband of film actress Noor, has a ubiquitous presence in all of Khan’s activities and is often seen standing behind the PTI leader during press briefings or sitting with him. He will reportedly serve as an advisor to Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar.
Earlier, it was reported that Imran was at odds with Aown over party matters and had directed him to keep a distance from party matters and the Prime Minister House.
Aown was conspicuous from his absence during the oath-taking ceremony of Imran Khan held on Saturday.
