Mirza’s exit: Sindh Assembly yet to receive resignation says Khuhro

KARACHI: Sindh Assembly Speaker Nisar Ahmed Khuhro claims that he has not received Dr Zulfiqar Mirza’s resignation yet.

According to the constitution, provincial assembly members should submit handwritten resignations to the speaker, Khuhro told the media at Sindh Assembly on Wednesday. “The member must be present and the resignation should clearly mention that he is resigning without any pressure.”

The assembly secretary does not have the authority to receive resignations from any member.

After the resignation is accepted, it is the election commission’s job to hold by-elections for the vacant constituency and the Sindh Assembly has nothing to do with it.

Earlier, a delegation of federal parliamentarians led by Federal Minister Syed Khursheed Ahmed Shah called on Khuhro at his chambers to discuss the current political, social and economic situation and the devastation caused by the rain.
