M ember of Provin
cial Assembly Kanwal Nauman tendered her resignation to Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz S
harif over lack of action on her ‘genuine issues’. In her resignation, the provincial lawmaker states that Punjab CM Shehbaz S
harif never had time to address her complaints. “My conscience is satisfied. I am disheartened now. You (Shehbaz) never had time for me, I joined the party because you are a kind-hearted man but Sir, you heard and resolved issues of entire Pakistan, but I wasn’t lucky enough to have that honour,” she stated.
Earlier, on Friday, sitting lawmaker of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN) defected to Pakistan Te
hreek-i-Insaf (PTI), along with two former legislators.
Member of the National Assembly Jaffar Leghari announced joining PTI at a meeting with PTI chief Imran Khan in Lahore. Former MNA Dr Meena Leghari and ex-senator Mohsin Leghari followed MNA Jafar Laghari in joining PTI.
In April, eight lawmakers announced quitting PML-N and later joined PTI.
Those deserting the ruling party included six MNAs and two MPAs, who announced to launch a mass movement for making southern Punjab a separate province. Off late, the PML-N has suffered a number of defections, mostly to the
rival PTI.
