Syed Showket Gayoor in a statement issued to KNS confirmed his resignation from the PDP.
“The recent events of expulsion of senior party leaders from the party have brought to the fore the central issue of neglect of the grass-root workers in favor of armchair leaders,” he said in a statement.
The statement added that, “ All of us are aware the party is going through a difficult phase therefore it becomes imperative to strengthen the hands of our party workers, who face the ground realities but the impression created among the workers is that the leadership shows concern but doesn’t deliver upto their expectations and the affairs are being run by shadow leaders who take arbitrary decisions such as expulsion of senior party leaders. All of it collectively resulted in disappointing the cadre. I hereby tender my resignation with immediate effect,” he said.
Meanwhile Taking to KNS, PDP leader Rafi Ahmed Mir said that party president is in jail and some people who have no existence in the party are issuing our expulsion notice (KNS).
