LAHORE – Noted educationist and motivational speaker Qasim Ali Shah has been removed as Chairman Board of Governors of Lahore Arts Council, making him the shortest serving chairman.
He was removed from the post by the Lahore High Court (LHC) days after his appointment by caretaker Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi, a close ally of the ruling PDM alliance.
Later, the decision was challenged in the high court, which has now restored the previous Boards of Governors.
The decision of appointing Shah drew massive criticism from the PTI followers, who were also slamming him for his controversial remarks against their party chief, Imran Khan.
