Earlier, Sardar Tanveer Ilyas of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) announced to part ways with the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP).

According to details, Sardar Tanveer Ilyas Khan has sent his resignation to Chairman PPP Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.

He also applied to the Parliamentary Board for a party ticket from the Central Bagh, Pachiot and Neelum constituencies.

Meanwhile, government minister Ali Shan Soni has also resigned from the primary membership of the Pakistan Peoples Party and the ministry.

Tanveer Ilyas Khan will announce his future political strategy in the next 2 days.

Meanwhile, Sardar Tanveer Ilyas Khan’s spokesperson has also confirmed his resignation from the primary membership of the Pakistan Peoples Party.
