Aamir Liaquat resigns from National Assembly seat

Islamabad: Member National Assembly (MNA) from the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Dr Aamir Liaquat Hussain has announced his resignation from his seat in the lower house of parliament, the news emerged on Monday.

On his official twitter handle, the lawmaker Aamir Liaquat said, "Have sent my resignation from the National Assembly”. 

He further added, “May Allah Almighty support Imran Khan and PTI. Allah Hafiz (God protect)". 

Reports quoting sources said that the televangelist made the announcement from his official social media handle and dispatched his resignation in a letter to the National Assembly (NA) secretariat.

In July 2020, Liaquat had stated his desire to present his resignation to PM Imran—expressing his helplessness over Karachi’s load-shedding crisis in a tweet.

He further added that he cannot bear to witness the suffering and agony of Karachi’s people, as well as the lies of [K-Electric CEO] Moonis Alvi.

However, the Premier had rejected the resignation and stated that he was proud that the TV show host was part of the PTI.
