Awami Muslim League leader Sheikh Rashid Ahmed has taken back his decision to resign from the National Assembly (NA). While addressing the joint opposition rally on January 17 in Lahore, the AML chief, an elected member from NA-55, announced to resign from his seat. Rasheed's tirade against the Parliament was criticised by leading political parties of the country.

While responding to a reporter, Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said the time for resignation had passed and now it was not necessary for him to do it. The AML leader attended the Public Accounts Committee meeting on Wednesday in the NA Secretariat.
