I was serving the government as Private Secretary to the Additional Cheif Secretary during caretaker set up was installed before last election held on 25th July, 2018. Our Provincial Minister of caretaker government was to visit at our office. It was an introductory meeting convened on instruction of the then Minister at 04:00 pm. I was so busy in arranging this meeting that I could not remember what time it was. Suddenly I received a call from PS to Minister informing with reluctance that the Minister had arrived at the entrance, but no one was there to receive him. I immediately asked the Deputy Director to go down to receive him. Before he moved ahead, the Minister appeared coming out of the elevator. When he came close to me, he expressed his reluctance over such protocol. I said nothing as a few words of explanation amount to challenging his majesty, but I went into a deep thought for awhile that the Muslim leaders of earlier time had never called for protocol, rather led very simple life. Is he a really Muslim leader ? I think he is not.
