LAHORE: Senator Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar has confirmed his resignation as the spokesperson for Pakistan People Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.
Khokar, however, said that he has not resigned from the PPP and will stand by Bilawal through “thick and thin”. He said through his years as spokesperson, he has advised him with “honesty, sincerity and in the best interests of the country and the party.”
“I have resigned from the position of spokesperson to the chairman, not from #PPP. Will stand by BBZ through thick and thin. In my years as his spokesperson, have given counsel with honesty, sincerity and in the best interests of the country and the party,” he said in a statement on Twitter.

This has put to rest rumours that he has quit as the spokesman for the PPP chairman. It was reported that he had resigned in protest against decisions taken from the platform of the Pakistan Democratic Movement.
Khokhar was also reportedly not in favour of joining the rally in Lahore. He had attended a party meeting on Wednesday which was convened by Bilawal for consultation. Khokhar had reportedly shown his displeasure over the PPP’s decision to resign from the assemblies.
