Asad Umar steps down from PTI leadership roles. Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Asad Umar announced Wednesday that he was stepping down as the party’s secretary general after serving in the position for the last 17 months.
Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, he said he would also no longer remain a part of the PTI’s core committee. He clarified, however, that he was not quitting the party.
“Given the current situation […] after May 9, it is not personally possible for me to continue performing my party leadership duties,” the former federal minister said.
Former Information minister Fawad Chaudhry has announced to leave the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), dealing another major blow to former prime minister Imran Khan and his party.
“I have decided to take a break from politics, therefore, I have resigned from party position and parting ways from Imran Khan,” he said in a tweet.
