KARACHI – A key leader of the All Pakistan Muslim League (APML) has resigned over unsuccessful show of power in a public meeting in Karachi on Sunday.
Party’s Karachi president Ahmed Hussain has reportedly send his resignation to APML founder and former president of Pakistan Gen (retd) Pervez Musharraf in Dubai for approval. The party leaders are pondering over the issue in order to resolve it.
The paryt had organized a rally at the Liaquatabad flyover, a place where the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) and the Pak Sarzameen Party (PSP) had staged power show. But the APML’s rally could not attract a substantial number of supports.
The News quoted sources said “Ahmed Hussain was criticised for his policies that led to the failure of the event,” describing that the issues pertained to giving responsibilities to politically inexperienced people within the party.
He further said that failure of the rally caused tension within the party.
The public meeting organisers started turning off some of the lights in order to hide vacant chairs on the flyover from the media.
In a statement released to the media later in the day, Muhammad Ali Sherwani, APML’s information official said Musharraf had turned down Hussain’s resignation and summoned him Dubai for meeting.
