Dost Muhammad Khosa quits PML-N
Addressing a press conference at his residence, Khosa lashed out against the PML-N leadership and said what would the standard be of a party where a single person holds 20 ministries.
He claimed that he was made a target of ‘character assassination’ and a case was initiated against him to hide another case.
Earlier, his father Sardar Zulfiqar Khan Khosa, had tendered his resignation from all political offices due to differences with Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif.
The PML-N had constituted a committee comprising the party’s senior leadership in efforts to woo him back.
Zufiqar Khosa has submitted his resignation from the slot of senior advisor to the Punjab chief minister, from having a seat of the Senate and from the party’s membership over differences with party policies and the Punjab chief minister.

@Haroon: PML N Nations only hope! lol
Merit? Merit served to Sapna but not Ayesha Ahad, is it called merit or nepotism? FIR launched against Khoasa but not against Hamza, this is merit of Shahbaz.
PMLN action should be appreciated and Sardar sb should undrestand this situation. He should not blame SS for 20 ministries, whereas Mian sb is handling Punjab very well. Serving nation without sources and support from Center is great and Sardar sb you should proof yourself innocent rather blaming someone to hide your doings.
Zulfiqar Khosa is highly respected within PML N and out also, his son like arslan to CJ brought him down, if dost is clear then he should fight in the court of law and come back to take responsibilities in Pml N. Serdar zulfiqar Khosa we respect you of your long services to party.
Khosas want to get cleaned ASAP and the best way is to join PTI. That way they would have a new lease on political life after this. Everything can be and would be forgotten and you can continue to claim your seats. This is just a suggestion for your own good and all charges against you would be forgiven and forgotten.
And there with the Khosas, go Ns chances of any votes in Southern Punjab. Not to forget Khosas was tasked to bring Bosan into N :p
And to answer Siddiqi, Khosas would end up with PPP.
Shahbaz Sharif took action against Dost Khosa because he was from South Punjab and not his own son. When will Shahbaz Sharif take action against Hamza Shahbaz for beating Ayesha Ahad?
These Sharifs have single handedly ruined PMLN, once a recognized force in Pak politics. South Punjab slipped out of their hands like sand.
Good bye PMLN or should I say GT Road League.
@Haroon: I guess you didn't read complete report it said "The PML-N had constituted a committee comprising the party’s senior leadership in efforts to woo him back". They want their corrupt fellows back my friend.
Well done NS. On a principle stand you lost one of your oldest colleagues.
Had he been provided support in 'Sapna Case' ppl would have called SS govt biased...whe they didnt ppl like him resign. the nation is in loss both ways - true story
Now then, the same Dost Khosa who was riled by PTI-Trolls and imbeciles of Deen-e-Ilzam for being corrupt and responsible for the murder of Sapna; would be welcomed with open arms in Pakistan Peoples Muthaida Tehreek-e-Insaf Movement and will be gone on to be hailed as the most cleanest politicians to have ever graced our land :D
Is this the same guy who took of with public property from his govt. provided home?
@Abid Malik: you mean in tatters.
PTI should refrain from taking him if he has been corrupt in the past. IK. Has a lot at stake and should not welcome more trouble,
@Hassan: Made me laugh so hard
he should have been expelled when he was accused of murdering his second wife. Such kind oof people are 'nasur' for the society. The PML-N should also be condemned for not expelling the murder.
Dost Khosa was made CM of Punjab out of proportion regardless of the many senior members. Then again as Minister for Local Government, his performance was bad and there were accusations of corruption against him. I have worked with his ministry and have some knowledge of corrupt practices on his part. The elder khosa has been influenced by his sons to leave PML(N). Hope he joins PTI pretty soon. :) PTI will have too many candidates from one constituency. Lets c how do they manage it.
Why PMLN did not throw him out itself? Incompetence or compliance??
@ M@ni so PML N politicians become corrupt only when they resign else not!!
Rule of Thumb for PML N every politician becomes corrupt only when they resign
PTI will offer him their membership........... Well Done Shabaz shraif for not comprmmising on merit
Muk Muka didn't worked between the two corrupt.
Good example from PMLN...
Trash is available for Sale!!
another example of no compromise on merit by shahbaz sharif
oh yeah all their decisions are purely based on democratic values and only to uphold country's interests not their own
Please accept their resignations, don't beg the corrupt people
So Pmln decided to not favour Dost Muhammad Khosa on the Sapna case. Appreciated!!!
Glasses are very feminine :P
PMLn is shatters. Birds have started their early flight. You will hear these stories more frequent in coming few days and weeks as election approaches and interim setup is established.
