Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Senator Hamid Khan has resigned from the Senate Standing Committee membership. He submitted his resignation to the Senate Secretariat.
Hamid Khan has resigned from the committees on Kashmir Affairs, Law and Justice, Less Developed Areas, Commerce and Delegated Legislation. In this regard, Hamid Khan says that he is voluntarily resigning from the committees on the instructions of the founder PTI.
He said that he is resigning in protest against the abuses and false cases against the founder PTI and other leaders. Hamid Khan said that justice is not being delivered by a weak judiciary due to the Twenty-sixth Constitutional Amendment. So far, seven senators have quit the Senate standing committees, including Dost Muhammad, Zeeshan Khanzada, Mirza Muhammad Afridi, Muhammad Azam Khan Swati, Mohammad Humayun Mohmand, Falak Naz and Aon Abbas Buppi.
PTI claimed some 30 of its lawmakers resigned from the membership of parliamentary committees, although the National Assembly Secretariat only confirmed the receipt of 20 resignations.
