Five days on, PDP MP Karra yet to submit resignation to Lok Sabha Secretariat

September 20, 2016 16:44

Tariq Hameed Karra, who had announced his resignation as MP from Srinagar, has not conveyed it to the Lok Sabha Secretariat even though five days have passed since then.

Sources in the Lok Sabha Secretariat said that no communication, either by email or letter, has been received from Karra. They noted that any member wishing to resign from the Lok Sabha has to submit a letter in original with signature to the Speaker.

Karra, one of the founding members of PDP of Jammu and Kashmir, had announced with much fanfare on September 15 that he had decided to quit as member of Lok Sabha and would be submitting his resignation to Speaker Sumitra Mahajan's office the next day.

Elected from Srinagar Parliamentary constituency in 2014 on PDP ticket, Karra had told reporters in Srinagar that he had decided to resign from the party as well as Lok Sabha to protest against "brutal policies" of BJP at the Centre and "complete surrender" of his party-ruled state government before it.
