Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) MNA Aamir Liaquat Hussain stated on Thursday that he had decided to resign from his seat. Expressing his helplessness over Karachi’s load-shedding crisis in a tweet, he said he had asked Prime Minister Imran Khan for a meeting so he could present his resignation in person.
“I am a helpless MNA of Karachi, unable to provide electricity to the people of my city. I cannot bear to witness the suffering and agony of Karachi’s people, as well as the lies of [K-Electric CEO] Moonis Alvi,” he tweeted.
میں اعتراف کرتا ہوں میں کراچی کا ایک بے بس ایم این اے ہوں… اپنے شہر کے لوگوں کو بجلی فراہم کروانے سے قاصر ہوں… مجھ سے کراچی اور بالخصوص اپنے حلقے کے لوگوں کا تڑپنا سسکنا اور مونس علوعی کے جھوٹ سہنا نہیں دیکھا جاتا وَیراعظم سے وقت مانگا ہے مل کر انہیں استعفی پیش کردوں گا

Since joining PTI six months before the general polls in 2018, Liaquat has issued multiple berating statements against senior PTI leadership including the premier, accusing them of sidelining representatives from Karachi.
