ISLAMABAD: Senior PTI leader Asad Umar at a presser at the National Press Club announced that he is stepping down as the secretary general and core committee member of the party.
He said that after the events of May 9 it was not possible for him to keep the leadership positions within the PTI.
“Therefore, I am withdrawing as secretary general of the party as well as membership of the party’s core committee.”
He added: “Not possible for me to lead party under these circumstances. I am resigning as Secretary General and core committee member of PTI.”
Asad Umar said that the most dangerous thing that happened on May 9 was that military installations were attacked. “I think Imran Khan himself has best explained the army’s status in Pakistan.
“He said that we would have seen similar fate like Syria’s if not for a strong army like ours. Khan sb said that my country needs my army more than me.”
