KARACHI:
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) MPA Kareem Gabool resigned from his provincial assembly seat of PS-100 over what appeared to be unaddressed complaints from the party s provincial representatives and district leadership.
Gabool had previously made headlines two days before the March 3 Senate elections when he had announced to not vote for the PTI s candidates.
In his resignation addressed to the Opposition Leader in Sindh Assembly Haleem Adil Sheikh, Gabool maintained that, On every floor of party, I always said my voice up there. My constituency of (PS-100) (NA-242) MNA Mr Saif Ur Rehman always ignored me and people of my constituency and he always did whatever he wanted for the development work of the people.
