Zartaj Gul’s Sister Appointed as NACTA Director on Deputation

Shabnam Gul, the sister of Federal Minister for Climate Change Zartaj Gul, has been appointed director of the National Counter Terrorism Authority (NACTA) for three years, reported SAMAA.

Shabnam was working as an assistant professor at the Lahore College for Women University and sent to NACTA as a Grade-19 officer on deputation.

Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry defended the decision and said “she is a PhD in terrorism and FATA and [was] selected after interviews”.

Whole NECTA is on deputation its not really a significant posting, its just fashionable to come up with stories against politicians, fact check is important before such baseless shares https://t.co/HgUXAqPTBl
