Pakistan: PML-N's Azma Bukhari steps down
Islamabad: Stating that the 2018 general elections were 'designed by known and unknown creatures', Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) lawmaker Azma Bukhari recently resigned as a member of the provincial assembly, media reports said.
Azma Bukhari, who is also the information secretary of the PML-N's Punjab chapter and who often lambasts the ruling PTI's provincial information minister Fayyazul Hassan Chohan, submitted her resignation to the party leadership after the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) called for the lawmakers of all Opposition parties to step down, Geo News reported.
Speaking to the media here in Lahore, the PML-N leader told the news channel that the 'Respect the Vote' campaign was a battle for the Constitution of Pakistan.
"Do not stop us for if you will, there will be protests everywhere," she warned the incumbent PTI regime.
"DJ Butt was arrested today," Bukhari noted, referring to a sound system and video vendor who became famous after providing sound system for PTI's 2014 sit-in in Islamabad.
