Senator Faisal Raza Abidi asked to resign

ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) lawmaker Faisal Raza Abidi has been asked to resign from his Senate seat because he violated party discipline, media reported on Wednesday.

   

The Senator was asked to resign by the PPP General Secretary Raja Pervaiz Ashraf on the directives of the party leadership, a communiqué issued in this regard stated.

The difference between Abidi and the PPP leadership had developed after the former had stated in a press conference in November last year that democracy had failed and martial law should be implemented in Pakistan.

Moreover, Abidi had also tendered his resignation in January 2013, following his outburst against then Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry but had later withdrawn it after meeting with the PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.
