He said “Being the only MNA who does not take a salary or any perks being an MNA, being one of the highest tax payers in Pakistan, my intentions has always been to give back to #Karachi and to #Pakistan. If I am not able to do so in my right conscience cannot justify being in my position.”
“Being JUST an MNA was never my intention. Wanted to do something for my city where my children and grand children live. Wanted to do something so they don’t want to leave for some other country. HAVE not given up, and would still stand with #PTI,” he added.
