A month ago, Pervez Khattak had announced his resignation from all positions of the party in the wake of May 9 incidents following the arrest of party chairman Imran Khan.
He held a press conference in Islamabad and said that “nothing good happened on May 9 and I have condemned the incident before, may Allah prevent such an incident from happening again.”
He said he had decided to leave the post of the party and he would decide about the future course of action after consulting with friends.
