Mansoor Awan refuses to serve as AGP
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Renowned lawyer Mansoor Usman Awan on Thursday recused himself from becoming the new Attorney General of Pakistan (AGP) after the resignation of Ashtar Ausaf.
Sources privy to the matter said that Mansoor Usman Awan cited personal reasons for his decision not to accept the post. Upon this, the federal government has now started reviewing new names for the AGP slot.
