Setback for PML

Published February 26, 2005

HYDERABAD, Feb 25: A member of the central committee of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League, Pir Sajjad Jan Sarhandi, and its district leader Syed Shiraz Hussain Shah have resigned from the basic membership of the party.

Announcing this at a news conference at the Sarhandi house in Tando Mohammad Khan on Thursday, they accused the provincial president of the PML and Chief Minister Dr Arbab Ghulam Rahim of destroying the party and supported the stand of the provincial general secretary of the party and sacked revenue minister Imtiaz Shaikh.

However, they expressed confidence in the leadership of PML chief Choudhry Shujaat Hussain and Mushahid Hussain Syed and said that they had not decided to join any other party.
