MNA Ghulam Bibi Bharwana has formally submitted her resignation to National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq.
Bharwana had announced her resignation last Sunday during a Khatm-i-Nabuwwat conference in Faisalabad organised by Pir Hameed-ud-din Sialvi, who has been demanding the resignation of Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah for remarks that were perceived as being in favour of Ahmadis.
Her resignation reads: "A member of the Punjab government's cabinet has had a blasphemous attitude towards the finality of Prophet Muhammad's prophet-hood." She adds that her protest regarding this went unheard, which is why she was was now resigning from the NA-88 (Chiniot) seat.
Bharwana was among five lawmakers from Punjab two MNAs and three MPAs who announced their resignations on Sunday in protest against Sanaullah's remarks.
