The Pakistan Bar Council has again suspended the licence of Federal Minister of Law Farogh Naseem. PBC has suspended the licence of Farogh Naseem for the second time, saying that he had requested for the licence after resigning from the post of Federal Minister, but now he has again taken over as the Minister of Law. Upon his second term, his licence will remain suspended, added PBC. It is pertinent to mention that a lawyer cannot represent anyone in court as a government official or while holding a ministry. In case of a government job, the licence has to be suspended. On Nov 29, President Dr Arif Alvi administered the oath of Federal Minister to Barrister Farogh Naseem. On Nov 26, Senator Farogh Naseem resigned as the law minister to fight the case of Pakistan Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa over his re-appointment/extension.
