Three reputed senior officers, one belonging to the Pakistan Administrative Service (ex-DMG) and two from the Police Service of Pakistan, have had to resign before their retirement because of the alleged anguish caused to them by the present government.

Two of these officers, Younis Dagha, former secretary finance, and Bashir Memon, ex-DG FIA, were in Grade 22. The third officer, who recently got premature retirement, is Capt (retd) Muhammad Shoaib, a grade 20 officer of the police service.

“It is an extreme form of protest against the worst politicisation of the civil service by the present government,” a senior bureaucrat told The News, adding, “This has happened against all norms of fairplay, rules, civil service traditions andthe directions of the superior judiciary.”
