Awami Muslim League chief Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed resigned from the National Assembly.
Sheikh Rasheed while addressing the joint opposition rally in Lahore announced to resign from the NA.
The AML chief not only announced to resign from the National Assembly, but also demanded Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairperson Imran Khan does the same.
The joint opposition protest rally was held to seek justice for the Model Town tragedy in Lahore.
“I resign from the assembly, Imran Khan come you also tender your resignation,” the AML chief said.
Sheikh Rasheed’s decision was flanked by Imran when he was addressing the rally later in the evening.
Imran expressed ‘complete agreement’ with Sheikh Rashid’s decision to resign from the lower house of the Parliament.
“I will consult my party over it, and it is very likely that we may join you [Sheikh Rashid],” he said, adding that resignations of his party were not accepted when they were submitted for the first time.
