ISLAMABAD: PPP stalwart Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar announced that he would formally resign as Senator after it emerged that party was unhappy with his political position.

Khokhar who resigned as PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari’s spokesman in December 2020 has been critical of government since its inception. He also refrained from becoming a state minister in April. In a series of tweets, PPP leader said he met a senior leader from party today, who told him that party leadership “wasn’t happy with my political positions and wanted my resignation from Senate”.

 “I gladly agreed to resign will be submitting my resignation in person to Chairman Senate, Insha[A]llah,” Bilawal’s former spokesman said. As a political worker, Khokhar said, he cherishes his right to express his opinions on matters of public interest.
