ISLAMABAD: After serving for two years as the Attorney-General of Pakistan, Khalid Javed Khan stepped down from the post late Saturday night after Imran Khan ceased to hold the office of the prime minister of Pakistan as he lost the majority in the National Assembly.
"I have been serving the post of Attorney General of Pakistan since February, 2020. For this honor and privilege, I remain profoundly grateful to Prime Minister Imran Khan,” Khalid Javed said while tendering his resignation.
A letter sent by him to the President of Pakistan Arif Alvi stated:
"I have tried to serve the country to the best of my ability and conscience and I now deem it appropriate to tender my resignation."
The Opposition *ousted Imran Khan link* from the post of prime minister through a successful no-confidence motion, making him the first prime minister of Pakistan to be removed by this method.
