The once famous host and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Aamir Liaquat has resigned from his seat in the national assembly and shared the news on his Twitter handle.

“Have sent my resignation from the National Assembly. May Allah Almighty support Imran Khan and PTI. Allah Hafiz,” he wrote.

He said that he requested the meeting to present his resignation in person as he was helpless to resolve the electricity issue in the port city.
میں اعتراف کرتا ہوں میں کراچی کا ایک بے بس ایم این اے ہوں… اپنے شہر کے لوگوں کو بجلی فراہم کروانے سے قاصر ہوں… مجھ سے کراچی اور بالخصوص اپنے حلقے کے لوگوں کا تڑپنا سسکنا اور مونس علوعی کے جھوٹ سہنا نہیں دیکھا جاتا وَیراعظم سے وقت مانگا ہے مل کر انہیں استعفی پیش کردوں گا
