“Today I had a meeting with a senior party leader. He made it clear that the party leadership desired my departure from the senate because of their displeasure with my political stances.” The PPP leader tweeted on his official Twitter account, “I gladly agreed to resign.”
The PPP leader continued by saying that he will present his resignation to Senate President Sadiq Sanjrani tomorrow in person (Wednesday).
