ISLAMABAD: Former Senator Mushtaq Ahmad Khan has resigned from Jamaat-e-Islami (JI).
During a talk show on a private TV channel, Mushtaq Ahmad Khan confirmed his resignation from the party. When the host asked about his current political status, he replied that he had stepped down from Jamaat-e-Islami.
Khan said he sent his resignation on September 19 while traveling on the Global Solidarity Flotilla. However, he added that he has not yet received any response from the party regarding his resignation.
Explaining the reasons behind his decision, Khan said that every organization has its own limits, but sometimes one needs to work independently. “I want to freely raise my voice for human rights, democracy, free media, Dr. Aafia Siddiqui, Palestine, and the constitutional rights of the federating units,” he stated.
