Mohsin Naqvi, the interim chief minister of Punjab, said that Rafia Haider, the city’s new deputy commissioner, is not her cousin.
He was responding to rumours that were going around on social media.
Raifia Haider is neither the first cousin of Mohsin Naqvi nor his wife.
Mohsin Naqvi has come under fire from the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) for accepting the position of interim chief minister.
He is held accountable by the party for recent repression of its leaders and employees.
