Tariq Malik was appointed as chairman of the National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra) on 21st June in PTI government tenure.
Malik has been Nadra’s chief in the past as well.
In 2013, he was then sacked from his position by the then PML-N government, but was immediately restored by the Islamabad High Court. He then resigned afterwards, alleging extreme pressure from the government.
