Hammad Azhar resigns as PTI’s Punjab president

Lahore: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader Hammad Azhar on Thursday announced to resign from the position of party’s Punjab president.

He stated that the party’s leadership should be entrusted to those closely connected with PTI founder Imran Khan.

"Unfortunately, I am not connected to the PTI founder. I was, and always will be, a worker of Imran Khan," he said.

Azhar mentioned that he could not visit Adiala Jail due to strict surveillance of his movements and expressed disagreement with certain decisions made by the party leadership.

He clarified that he had not made any deals or held any press conferences, and said that many decisions at the Punjab level were made without consulting him.

Azhar also criticised the replacement of PTI Lahore President Chaudhary Asghar, despite his commendable efforts in organising successful rallies.

“It is impossible for me to continue in this situation, as I cannot go against merit,” Azhar concluded.
