It is to be mentioned here that Hashmi was made to resign after his incendiary speech threatening those investigating Prime Minister’s son of ‘consequences’ surfaced last week.
The PML-N besides asking him to resign from Senate had also suspended his party membership.
He had sent his hand-written resignation to Chairman Senate Raza Rabbani on the instructions of the party. However, Rabbani had ruled that Hashmi was required to appear before him in person for confirmation of his resignation.
On Tuesday, he met Chairman Senate but instead of conforming his resignation he submitted an application with the Chairman to return his resignation.
Chairman Senate sent his application to Secretary Senate for necessary legal action.
On the other hand, talking to media outside Parliament House Senator Mushahidullah Khan of the ruling PML-N said that he had heard Hashmi had withdrawn his resignation.
He opined that Hashmi must have resigned as it was party’s decision. “Everyone should follow party policy,” he added.
