JHANG, July 22: A union council nazim of Ratta Matta has resigned from his office in protest against the Lal Masjid and Jamia Hafsa operation.

Syed Muhammad Ali Imran Shah, a close relative of Federal Environment Minister Makhdoom Syed Faisal Saleh Hayat, in his resignation letter addressed to the Jhang district nazim said that massacring of innocent youth and women had forced him to quit his office.
