Miftah Ismail resigns from PML-N posts

Miftah Ismail, the General Secretary of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Sindh, resigned from PML-N posts on Saturday.

The former Federal minister maintained that won’t be active in electoral politics anymore.

Miftah Ismail is reported to have conveyed his decision through a resignation letter addressed to Ahsan Iqbal, the central secretary general of PML-N.

Ismail stated, “Given the upcoming reorganisation of the party structure, I think it’s time for me to make official what is already true and move on. I, therefore, tender my resignation as General Secretary of PML-N Sindh and also resign from all party committees.”

Expressing his gratitude towards the PML-N leadership, Ismail acknowledged the trust and responsibilities placed upon him.

Miftah specifically mentioned PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif and President Shehbaz Sharif for their kindness and consideration throughout the years.

“The party Quaid Mian Nawaz Sharif and President Mian Shehbaz Sharif have been most kind and considerate with me over the years. I shall always be grateful to them for their support and trust,” he wrote.

He also thanked senior PML-N leaders “such as yourself, Khawaja Asif, Ayaz Sadiq, Pervaiz Rasheed, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, and many others”, who he said had been very kind to him over the years.

“Although I won’t be active in electoral politics anymore, I share with you a keen desire to see a socially just, economically stable, and well-governed Pakistan,” he concluded, adding, “My best wishes to you, the party, and all its leaders.”
