Faisal Raza Abidi resigns as PPP Karachi president
Abdul Qadir Patel has been given Abidi's post.
Abidi was made president of the Karachi division in November last year.
PPP Karachi division spokesperson, Kausar Amir said that Abidi had resigned because of health reasons and had also been admitted to the hospital. Sources within the party have said that the local leadership had made many complaints against him for being “inattentive” and had not been giving time to the party and its workers.
Abidi had earlier contested from NA-253 against Haider Abbas Rizvi of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) during the 2008 elections.
He had been selected as the president of PPP’s Karachi division after the elections but was removed after a year after complaints were received. The PPP leader has been a part of the Central Executive Committee (CEC) since 2008 and member of Senate since 2009.

@Faiza: Please be calm & patience ........ try to understand my message.
@ali: Hahahaha what a joke, he is just another tissue who is used and thrown by zardari, like zulfiqar Mirza, babar awan
@Awans: and @sillysilva: Faisal Raza Abidi was not chosen by the general voters, in fact he was defeated by Haider Rizvi in 2008 election. He is a senator not MNA
@saeed: If you want the best leaders you must select them, not elect them. Madadgar Pakistan is bringing about such a new system.
PPP zindabad
This is why he has resigned.
upto now there is no perfect system in the society .Close to perfect is democracy and election is part of it.
He used to call himself spokesman for President and most of time he claims to be political secretary to Mr. Zardari. But PPP seniors leaders always contradict him claims.
He has resigned only because of shia killing in Pakistan and he has announced war against LEJ and SSP cowards! Listen to his telephonic talk on shia killing facebook page.
His personality never looked like he's from PPP like the way he talks i always felt that he is from MQM.
@sillysilva: The people of Pakistan seem to be stupid enough to elect liars who claim the moon but perform in the negative. They loot the country and how can people who understand this not point it out to the ones that do not seem to understand whats happening.
he has resigned because of the shia killing in pakistan.
@sillysilva The right to choose and self-determination should be laid emphasis on only when the 'self' or the 'people' have the capacity and intellect to make decisions and to stand for a principle. In a country where the literacy rate is hardly 50%, women are oppressed from making any decisions in the majority of the country, and all that the youth can do is act as if they are in a freaking Imran Hashmi movie; Im sorry, but such a country deserve no right to choose. For more than half a century, we have seen what such 'right to choose' has done for us. Wonders, hasnt it? So thanks, but no thanks.
@Awans: Can't agree more with you. @sillysilva: Kindly accept the reality no matter what it is, this is the reality that the base of our political system is lie and false promises. Most people of Pakistan are easily manipulated due to lack of quality education.
Great person with Great Wisdom
I love him
An asset to PPP
@Mohammad Ali Siddiqui: Hardly matters-----if you don't. Many do, he is a valuable memebr of the PPP and if leaves the party, it'd be big loss for them.
Who cares?
@Awans - Your comments seems insult for the people of Pakistan who has their right to choose their representatives.
oopsy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so his 15 minutes fame is over?
Elections are coming and in Pakistan we have a circle and he will be elected again by Stupids and then again they will whine for another 4.5 years after election year and in the last six months he and many others will resign to save the face of the party and this cycle will continue. So not a big deal for me.
