Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) suffered another blow as Sindh Assembly Member Bilal Ghaffar announced his departure from the party.

In a video statement, Ghaffar said that he was deeply shocked after Imran Khan’s arrest and the subsequent wave of violent incidents across the country. As a Pakistani, he could not fathom aligning himself with actions against institutions.

Ghaffar stated, “After these events, I have made the decision to distance myself from politics. I hereby announce my resignation as a member of the Sindh Assembly. I have also decided to resign from the position of PTI party member. I condemn the recent acts of violence and call for an inquiry into the Jinnah House, GHQ, and other targeted attacks.
