Accused of selling votes in the recent Senate elections, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Member Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly Ubaid Mayar has resigned. During a press conference here on Sunday, Mayar rejected the allegations. He said Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan had hurled allegations prior to form the committee.
"I'm answerable to no committee. People had elected me and I would answer them," said Mayar who is also Higher Education parliamentary secretary. Present on the occasion, Cultural parliamentary secretary Zahid Durrani, who was also named and shamed over 'vote sale' by Imran, also rejected the allegations and said he would move the court against Imran. "Imran has insulted us by hurling horse-trading allegations."
