KARACHI: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Sindh’s Secretary and former finance minister Miftah Ismail has tendered resignation from his party office, citing sources, ARY News reported on Tuesday.

Miftah Ismail has dispatched the copy of his resignation from the PML-N Sindh office to the party’s supremo Nawaz Sharif and President PML-N Shehbaz Sharif, sources said.

According to sources, Miftah Ismail was disappointed over lack of action by the party leadership against the people vandalizing the party’s office in Karachi in a recent incident.

Party’s President Shehbaz Sharif had formed a committee to inquire into the rioting incident at the party’s office, Muslim League House, in Karsaz.
