Finance Adviser Dr Salehuddin Ahmed on Tuesday said he is unaware of any proposal for him to join a future political government as a minister. When asked whether he would consider accepting such an offer if it were made, the finance adviser suggested that the matter is unlikely to arise. Dr Salehuddin said he had stepped away from academic engagements to serve in government and has already received invitations to return. “I took leave from my professional engagements to serve in the government. Now two universities have approached me and asked me to return,” he said.
