Sports Ministry's Deputy Minister Hussain Shifaz has been suspended.
Sources within the Sports Ministry confirmed Shifaz's suspension. The reason and duration of his suspension remain undisclosed.
Shifaz is the fourth deputy minister to be placed under suspension. Earlier in May, Mariyam Shiuna, Malsha Shareef, and Mahzoom Majid, all deputy ministers in the Youth Ministry, were suspended with pay for mocking Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on social media.
