ISLAMABAD: In the ongoing process of sidelining former law minister Babar Awan from the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), the party leadership on Tuesday decided to take away his last official post within the party folds, DawnNews reported.

The party leadership has decided to replace Awan with Rukhsana Bangash on his current post of secretary finance of the Pakistan People’s Party.

Awan's name has also been removed from the party's web site after that he is no longer a member of Central Executive Committee of the PPP.

PPP Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari has also issued orders to remove the camp office which was stationed at Awan’s residence.

The former law minister has sent back the security convoy of the Rangers and the police and also returned his bullet proof car to the establishment division.

Meanwhile, Awan’s brother Farooq Awan, who was working as a special adviser to the prime minister, also has presented his resignation to the prime minister.

Earlier Awan was  removed from the law ministry, party’s vice-presidency and membership of Parliamentary Committee on National Security ( PCNS).
