Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani on Sunday accepted former finance minister Shaukat Tarin’s resignation from the upper house of the Parliament.
On Friday, Tarin had announced he had decided to quit the PTI and politics for good, citing financial and health reasons. He had told media that the last two-and-a-half years had been “very challenging” for him, both financially and due to his “deteriorating health” after “double Covid episodes”.
“Therefore, at the insistence of my family and friends, I have decided to resign from active politics for good and move on,” Tarin had said, adding that he was resigning from PTI and also from the Senate.
According to a statement issued by the Senate Secretariat today, Tarin met Sanjrani in Dubai and tendered his resignation, which was accepted by the Senate chairman.
