ISLAMABAD: Former finance minister Shaukat Tarin announced on Friday that he had decided to quit PTI and politics for good, citing financial and health reasons for his decision.
Tarin told 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 during my time in office”.
“Therefore, at the insistence of my family and friends, I have decided to resign from active politics for good and move on,” Tarin said. “Hence, I am resigning from PTI and also from the Senate of Pakistan,” he said.
“I want to thank all those colleagues and friends who have helped me along this journey,” he added.
