However, following a meeting with the prime minister, Aamir Liaquat had clarified that he was taking back his decision after PM Imran Khan refused his resignation.

The prime minister hailed my efforts for raising my voice for Karachi’s issues and said thinking about the public was the role of an elected leader,” he had said on Twitter.
