  • 10 years ago
Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf’s (PTI) rebellious president Makhdoom Javed Hashmi’s resignation has been accepted by Speaker National Assembly Sardar Ayaz Sadiq today (Thursday). Javed Hashmi had announced during his speech on September 2, 2014, that he wanted to resign from his seat in National Assembly.
Javed Hahsmi had won the election in NA – 149, Multan, during the General Elections 2013 on PTI ticket. Hashmi had developed some differences with the party chairman Imran Khan on the issue of the ongoing sit-ins in Islamabad. On August 29, Javed Hashmi held a press conference in Multan and alleged Imran Khan of holding the long march on the directions of certain quarters in the establishment. Responding to the allegation, Imran Khan announced from his container the very same evening that he had parted ways with Javed Hashmi forever.
2 days later, on September 1, Javed Hashmi held yet another press conference in Islamabad and revealed more about the intra-party discussions with Imran Khan. He said that Imran Khan was working on an ‘agenda’. “Imran Khan told us that we cannot move without Army”, Javed Hashmi said. He also told that there were serious concerns within the party about moving from D-Chowk towards Prime Minister House for agitation but Imran Khan, instead of following the advice by core committee, decided to move forward.
