Asad Umar quits politics, resigns from PTI

ISLAMABAD: In another significant setback to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Asad Umar has decided to quit politics and also resign from his basic membership of the party.

Posting on his social media account ‘X’ he said that he has decided to quit due to the policy of confrontation with state institutions.

“ After more than one decade in public life, I have decided to completely quit politics. As I had already stated publicly earlier that I disagree with the policy of confrontation with state institutions, and such a policy has led to a serious collision with state institutions, which is not in the interest of the country”, he tweeted.

“I am resigning from basic membership of PTI. I want to thank all those who have supported me in public life. In particular, I want to thank the NA 54 team and the voters who elected me twice”, he said.

“I have tried my best to serve the constituency that I was elected from. May Allah’s blessings shine upon the Pakistani nation”, he concluded.
