Envoy Husain Haqqani said on his Twitter account he had sent his resignation to the prime minister.
Haqqani said he had served the country as an Ambassador for three and a half years and would “contribute to building a new Pakistan free of bigotry and intolerance.”
He further said that he would focus his energies on the above mentioned.
