ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf former Secretary General Asad Umar has announced to quit party and politics.
Asad Umar, who served as Finance Minister and Planning and Development Minister in Imran Khan’s cabinet, stated that he is resigning from the basic membership of PTI.

“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 on social media platform X.

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 said.
