Islamabad: Yousuf Raza Gillani on Monday announced to send resignation as the Opposition Leader of Senate to his party over passage of State Bank of Pakistan Amendment Bill 2022.
Days after the government managed to approve the State Bank of Pakistan amendment bill with one vote majority, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader has sent his resignation as Opposition Leader of Senate over accusation of giving advantage in bill passing procedure.
The PPP leader announced it while speaking during the Senate session. He said: “I have sent my resignation to my party,” he said.
He further said that he was not taken into confidence for State Bank Amendment bill nor he was told that the bill was on agenda.
Earlier, the Upper House of the Parliament on Friday passed the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) Amendment Bill 2022.
