Published: December 29, 2011
ISLAMABAD: Latest Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf recruit, Javed Hashmi announced his resignation from the National Assembly on Thursday evening.
Speaking to media men outside the parliament, Hashmi announced his resignation from the National Assembly. He further called on the ruling government to consult with all political groups, in and outside the Assembly and announce a date for new elections soon.
The five-time MNA contended that since there were would be now 47 seats in the assembly which would be vacated, given the resignations expected and it would not be possible to hold elections just for these seats, adding that other members than the expected 47 too were resigning. He suggested that the better option was that if the government announced fresh elections for the national assembly, It is impossible to conduct elections on 47 empty seats.
Javed Hashmi s daughter, Momina Hashmi too resigned from her NA seat.
Explaining his resignation, Hashmi said that he was not consulted on any matter and he did not want to come to the assembly just to pick up a pay cheque. He added that he wanted to work for the people of Pakistan.
Relations with PML-N
Hashmi said that while he had resigned from the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), he maintained personal relations with Nawaz Sharif, and these will continue.
He added that if ones own party shuns them, then one would have to reconsider their position in the party.
Hashmi had last week announced his decision to quit the PML-N in favour of Imran Khans PTI.
He said that the PML-N chief was trying desperately to win back recent defectors, offering various party positions.
