He also shared a copy of his resignation letter, stating that he has not received any perks and privileges from the government to perform his duties. He said that he will not be part of any fraud in the country while the powerless government could not take its decisions independently.
Ahmad Jawad expressed suspicions that the result of the inquiry into Arshad Sharif’s killing would be the same as the murder probes of Liaquat Ali Khan and Benazir Bhutto. He said that the journalist’s sacrifice will not go in vain and he was the ‘final reminder’ of ‘independence’ in the country.
He also demanded the premier announce fresh elections to let the nation decide about their rulers. Jawad said that he tendered his resignation after listening to his conscience following Arshad Sharif’s death.
