KARACHI: Senior Vice-President All Pakistan Muslim League Dr Sher Afgan Niazi has resigned from his position and from his membership of the party.

Dr Sher Afgan Niazi has confirmed his resignation to DawnNews. He said that although he still views Pervez Musharraf as his leader, there are people within the party with whom he can no longer work with.

He said that it is no longer a matter of settling differences and that he can no longer think of returning to the party.

Sources said that his view points were no longer being considered in the party offices being made in southern Punjab. Sources have also confirmed that by being aligned with Musharraf his vote bank was being affected in Mianwali.
