Firdous Shamim Naqvi resigns as Sindh Assembly’s opposition leader

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)’s senior leader Firdous Shamim Naqvi on Wednesday submitted his resignation to the Sindh Assembly secretary as the Sindh Assembly’s opposition leader. PTI has appointed Haleem Adil Shaikh to succeed him as the opposition leader.
However, media reports suggest that the leadership of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement Pakistan (MQM-P), which is one of the allies of PTI and its coalition partner in the federal government, has expressed reservations over Shaikh’s nomination for the post.
Bilal Ghaffar, an MPA from Karachi, has already been made the PTI parliamentary leader in the Sindh Assembly, a post which Shaikh had when Naqvi was serving as the opposition leader. Talking to the media after submitting his resignation, Naqvi said the responsibility of the opposition leader had been given by the PTI leadership to him. “I will now work as a PTI member. For me, the party is more important than a designation,” he said. He also congratulated Shaikh for being appointed as the new opposition leader.
