FBR chairman Shabbar Zaidi says may be unable to continue s FBR chairman FBR chairman Shabbar Zaidi says may be unable
Federal Bureau of Revenue (FBR) Chairman Shabbar Zaidi on Tuesday refuted speculation about his resignation, saying he had been unable to perform his duties due to ill health.
“I’m ill and I can’t work at the moment,” Shabbar Zaidi was quoted by a reporter as saying. “The doctors advised me rest,”. He says that he has already talked to the Prime Minister that he will not be able to continue to discharge his duties as FBR Chairman.
According to details, speculation of Zaidi’s resignation started making rounds on mainstream media as well as social media, claiming that he has expressed his inability to continue as the top revenue collector and asked Prime Minister Imran Khan to find someone else to head the tax authority.
Mr. Zaidi took a 2-week leave of absence from January 6 to January 19, which fueled rumors that there were differences in PTI’s economic team.
Later, the FBR issued a strong statement about “misreported” facts in the media and maintained that Mr. Zaidi would resume charge once his leave ended.
Earlier this month, Shaikh in an interview with Aaj TV, had stated that the government may change the FBR chairman if he does not recover soon as the government plans to introduce a mini-budget (which has to be signed off on by the tax chief).
