Shaukat Tarin, the former Finance Minister and leader of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, resigned from the upper house of parliament on Sunday, according to Dawn News, which was accepted by the chairman of the Pakistan Senate.
Citing financial and health reasons, the leader of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf declared his permanent resignation from the party and politics.
He claimed that his financial situation and his “deteriorating health” following “double Covid episodes” had made the past 2.5 years “very challenging” for him.
“Therefore, at the insistence of my family and friends, I have decided to resign from active politics for good and move on,” Mr. Tarin had stated, along with his resignations from the Senate and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf.
