Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardrai on Tuesday appointed his close aide Muhammad Latif Khosa as the new Governor of Punjab province to succeed the slain Pakistan Peoples Party leader Salman Taseer.
As differences between the two men apparently reached a point of no return, close aide Sardar Zulifqar Khosa resigned from the post of senior adviser to Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif, the younger brother of Nawaz Sharif.
