The PPP leader said in a series of tweets that the party leadership “wasn’t happy with my political positions and requested my resignation from the Senate” after he met with a top party official today.The former spokesman for Bilawal stated, “I enthusiastically accepted to quit […] will be submitting my resignation in person to Chairman Senate tomorrow, Insha[A]llah.”
Khokhar stated that he values his right to voice his ideas on issues of public concern as a political worker.”I’m grateful that the party’s leadership gave me a seat in the Sindh Senate. Despite our differences, we have enjoyed travelling with them and wish them the best.”According to sources, PPP Senator Farooq H. Naik notified Khokhar about the party’s concerns.
