Noting that he was a member of the PTI’s Central Executive Committee, Nawaz said he and other leaders had made the decision after consulting amongst themselves. He added they were “resigning from politics for now” and would decide the next plan of action after consulting their supporters.

Nawaz further said that the ones responsible for the violent incidents should be punished but those who were innocent and detained in jails should be released.
