LAHORE MIRROR – – Former Punjab chief minister and PTI leader Usman Buzdar has announced that he is quitting politics.
“I request all stakeholders to exit their parties and think for the better future of Pakistan,” he said in a press conference.
“First of all, I condemn the May 9 incidents. The military installations which were targeted were properties of the state of Pakistan and I believe we should avoid such incidents,” Buzdar told journalists during a press conference in Lahore.
Buzdar, whose term as Punjab’s chief minister was cut short in March 2022, said he had always stood with the armed forces of Pakistan and will continue to do so.
“I have always committed to politics of nobility […] but due to the current circumstances, I have decided to quit politics,” the former chief minister, once considered to be close to PTI Chairman Imran Khan, said.
Buzdar called on all stakeholders to reach a consensus and asked the authorities to release all those who were innocent from jail.
