A notification was issued earlier this week by Sindh chief secretary which reads, “In continuation of this department’s notification of even number dated 28.1.2014 & in exercise of the powers conferred under Section 5 (1) of the Sindh Higher Education Commission Act-2013, the Chief Minister Sindh/ Controlling Authority has been pleased to re-appoint Dr Asim as Chairperson, Sindh Higher Education Commission for one more similar term.”
Dr Asim was indicted by an accountability court in the Rs.460 billion corruption reference. His name was removed for one month from the Exit Control List in August 2017, after he filed an application to the Supreme Court to remove his name which had been placed in November 2015.
