ISLAMABAD: Former Senator Enver Baig Saturday tendered his resignation from the basic membership of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP).

In a letter addressed to PPP Secretary General Senator Jahangir Badar, he said that he had the right to appeal against the letter issued by Syed Nayyar Bukhari, President PPP Islamabad district, suspending his basic membership, but he would prefer to quit the party.

In his letter, Mr Baig said that he owed his debut in public life and all his accomplishments in political career to former premier Benazir Bhutto.

He said that “with her uncanny sagacity, worldly wisdom and matchless political acumen, she brought to the task of running both party and government a repertoire of superb accomplishment which endeared her and the party to the broad masses of the people”.

However, he was of the opinion that after her tragic death, he was finding it difficult to continue his association with the party.
