\nKhokhar \u2014 who resigned as PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari’s spokesman in December 2020 \u2014 has been critical of the government since its inception. He also refrained from becoming a state minister in April.
\nIn a series of tweets, the PPP leader said he met a senior leader from the party today, who told him that the party leadership “wasn\u2019t happy with my political positions and wanted my resignation from the Senate”.
\n“I gladly agreed to resign […] will be submitting my resignation in person to Chairman Senate tomorrow, Insha[A]llah,” Bilawal’s former spokesman said.<\/p>\n
As a political worker, I cherish my right to express my opinions on matters of public interest. Thankful to the party leadership for giving me the senate seat from Sindh. Differences aside, It\u2019s been a wonderful journey with them and wish them the best.
