However, he was attending party meetings, “but I have found him alienated and reticent”.

Khokhar had also left a WhatsApp group (media monitor) that the party had created prior to the 2018 general elections, sourced added.

On the other hand, rumours of his resignation were earlier denied by the PPP media cell.
