Karachi, May 14 : Central and provincial leader of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Dr Arif Alvi has urged the party chairman Imran Khan to resign from the National Assembly after the Karachi carnage episode in which more than 35 people were killed and hundreds were injured.

Dr. Alvi made this request through a letter, while the party's provincial leaders - President PTI Sindh Zubair Khan, City President Ashraf Qureshi, General Secretary Suhan Ali Sahil and city's Women Wing President Naureen Farooq Khan - made the same request through a press conference.

The PTI leaders also requested Imran Khan to convene an urgent meeting of the party's central executive committee to discuss the ramifications of the Karachi carnage.

"A parliament which is totally ineffective, undemocratic, and which has elected a government which is involved not only in loot and plunder but has killed hundreds of its own citizens, and which has been totally exposed during the Karachi carnage, is not a forum for honest and upright people like you (Imran Khan)," they said.
