On Sunday, former governor Sindh Mohammad Zubair publicly announced his departure from the PML-N, citing “differences too vast” to reconcile.
When questioned by ARY News, Zubair gave his explanation for quitting the party. “I had already decided on it some time ago. It was obviously wiser to break away when the party’s position shifted,” he said.
According to Zubair, it has been “difficult to go along with them” ever since the PML-N started practicing “power politics” and became “intense on remaining in power.”
I’d made it quite apparent. He remarked, “I had made it obvious some time ago.”In my opinion, the differences were too vast — whether it may be the vote of no confidence [against ex-PM Imran Khan], the previous sixteen-month government’s performance or the [general] elections,” Zubair said in response to a question about whether PML-N President Nawaz Sharif or any other senior party leader had attempted to stop him.
Zubair continued by saying he was still undecided about switching to a different political party in the future. “I’m still undecided. He stated, “It’s possible that you’ll learn about it in the coming days.”
Regarding former premier Shahid Khaqan Abbasi’s choice to start a political party, Zubair responded, “Yes, he has made that decision, but I haven’t made a decision yet.”
In a separate interview with Geo News, Zubair declared that he fully supported the PML-N when it came to people-centered politics.
“The phrase ‘vote ko izzat do’ was really effective. It implied that we are dependent upon the people and that they would establish a government with their authority,” he stated.
He added that the PTI had given up on politics and was now determined to use any means necessary to seize power, alluding to the vote of no confidence against Imran Khan.
He went on to say that the results of the elections held on February 8 were “clear how many seats the PML-N won.”
In February 2017, he took the oath of office as Sindh’s 32nd governor.
Before being named governor, Zubair served as head of the Privatisation Commission. He is the brother of Asad Umar, a prominent PTI politician.
From July to December 2013, Zubair presided over the Board of Investment as head of the Privatisation Commission.
