Khalilur Rehman Politician

Khalilur Rehman (born 1934) is a retired Commander in the Pakistan Navy and the former and the 25th governor of the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. He was the Deputy Chairman of the Senate of Pakistan representing the ruling Pakistan Muslim League (Q) before taking over as governor of the province. During his tenure Vice Chancellor Professor Said Khan Khalil made some illegal appointment in Agricultural University Peshawar. The then Chief Minister Akram Khan Durrani was not happy with the appointment and he asked the VC to review the appointment which he refused with the full support of Governor Khali-ur-Rahman. Akram Durrani requested the then Prime Minister that the governor may be relieved of his duties as he is not fit for the job, otherwise he will not support the Federal Government. This message was conveyed to President Pervez Musharraf, who asked the governor to resign. As a result he resigned in May 2006.
