ISLAMABAD, (DNA) – The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) led federal government has finally decided to appoint Anwar Mansoor Khan as the attorney general for Pakistan (AGP).

“The Ministry of Law has forwarded a summery/recommendation in this connection to the PM Secretariat.  A notification in this regard is likely to be issued on Saturday (today),” a senior official in law ministry told.

Earlier, there was confusion with regard to appointment of the AGP as Khalid Javed Khan had excused himself to continue as the AGP but one group within the PTI wanted to retain him.

On August 9, Khalid Javed Khan met the then prime minister-elect Imran Khan for the first time at the PTI chief’s Bani Gala residence, where he was asked to continue working as the AGP – a request that Khalid had reportedly accepted.
