ISLAMABAD: Ex-Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) secretary general has announced to quit politics.
He also announced to relinquish basic membership of the party. The former minister announced his decision in a post on X Saturday.
“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 said in his post. I am resigning from basic membership of PTI, he added.
Asad Umar also thanked all those who supported him in public life. “In particular I want to thank the NA 54 team and the voters who elected me twice. 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.
