ISLAMABAD:
Protesting against dynastic political practices, Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q)’s women wing’s president, Farrukh Khan, has resigned from the party, ending her 12-year association.
A source inside the party told APP that Farrukh Khan objected to the party leadership’s decision of naming close relatives for reserved seats for women.
When her protest was overlooked and close relatives of the party’s top brass were nominated, she quietly resigned.
