Islamabad: The federal government has sought resignation from Sindh Governor Dr Ishratul Ebad Khan, local media quoting sources reported today.

Sources said, Dr Ebad has asked for one month to resign from his position. Dr Ebad has said that he is currently occupied with some private engagements and after the completion of some left over responsibilities, he will resign.
Sources said that the Federal government has also taken the Sindh government into confidence, over the decision. According to sources, high level consultations have begun for the appointment of a new Sindh governor.
Earlier, MQM had announced to disown Ebad and demanded him to step down.
