Prime Minister Imran Khan, in April, had requested Yasinzai in a letter to resign as he wanted to appoint someone else in his place.

In his letter the premier has said, "I intend to appoint a new governor in Balochistan and would, therefore, request you to resign.

"This, of course, does not in any way reflect adversely on your competence or performance. It is just that the transformed political challenges Pakistan faces at present require, I believe, a change."
