FAISALABAD - PML-N MNA Mian Muhammad Farooq has resigned from his National Assembly seat after the party refused to grant district council chairman ticket to his son.

According to details, Farooq has sent his resignation to PML-N President Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.

In his resignation, addressed to the prime minister, Farooq said he had started his political career 32 years ago under the leadership of Nawaz Sharif and was ending it when he was the premier. He stated that he was elected MNA for the sixth time in the general elections of 2013. “There should be a difference between a loyal person and an opportunist. I will remain loyal to you till my death,” he said in the letter.

The PML-N leader, who was elected an MNA from NA-80, Faisalabad, was annoyed with the party leadership as his son was not given the party ticket to contest the election of the district council chairman.
