Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) senior leader and Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Omar Ayub Khan tendered his resignation as the member of Judicial Commission of Pakistan (JCP), citing ‘multiple’ FIRs and legal cases against him as the reason.
The politician forwarded his resignation to NA Speaker Ayaz Sadiq on Tuesday, bearing date of December 3, and nominated PTI Chairman and member of NA Barrister Gohar Ali Khan, to succeed him in the commission.
“I am writing to formally tender my resignation as a member of the Judicial Commission of Pakistan. This decision has been taken after careful consideration and is necessitated by the multitude of FIRs and legal cases filed against me, which require my immediate and undivided attention.
“The current legal challenges hinder my ability to serve the Commission effectively, and I believe it is in the best interest of the institution to allow someone with a clear focus to assume this vital role,” he wrote in the resignation on Tuesday.
Omar expressed confidence that Barrister Gohar will be a valuable asset to the commission because of his legal acumen, integrity, and dedication.
