Former Senator Javed Jabbar Saturday announced his resignation from the 10th National Finance Commission citing some political opposition in Balochistan to his nomination. He thanked President Dr Arif Alvi, Governor of Balochistan Justice (retd) Amanullah Khan Yasinzai and Chief Minister of Balochistan Jam Mir Kamal Khan Alyani for his nomination as the non-statutory Member from Balochistan to the 10th NFC, as notified on May 12.
The former Senator said, “Due to my long association with the great people and province of Balochistan for the past 45 years in different public service capacities including a 6-year tenure in the Senate, and three times as a Member of Federal Cabinets, and in the voluntary field in the development sector, I had accepted this unsought, unexpected honour — only in order to make a humble, potentially positive contribution.–APP
