Shafqat Mahmood, a former key figure in the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), announced his exit from politics on Sunday, clarifying that his decision was not influenced by external pressure.

“34 years ago, I left a government job to pursue a political career. However, after careful consideration, I have decided to retire,” Mahmood, a former federal minister, stated in a post on X, previously known as Twitter.

سیاست سے ریٹائرمنٹ

آج سے 34 سال پہلے میں نے سرکاری ملازمت سے استعفیٰ دے کر سیاست میں قدم رکھا۔ بہت سوچ و بچار کے بعد میں نے اب سیاست سے ریٹائر ہونے کا فیصلہ کیا ہے – میں اپنی باقی عمر تحریر اور تدریس کے لیے وقف کرنا چاہتا ہوں۔ یہ فیصلہ نا ہی کسی پریشر کی وجہ سے ہے، اور نا ہی…

Following the May 9 attacks on state installations, a significant number of politicians have either left the former ruling party or abandoned politics entirely. The party has expressed that these departures were not voluntary.

Notable figures who have left the now-struggling PTI include Fawad Chaudhry, Asad Umar, Shireen Mazari, Fayazul Hassan Chohan, Maleeka Bokhari, Ali Zaidi, and Musarrat Jamshed Cheema.

بطور وزیر تعلیم پاکستان کی تاریخ میں پہلی دفعہ یکساں نصاب بنایا اور کووڈ کے مشکل وقت میں تعلیمی نظام کامیابی سے سنبھالا ۔میں چیئرمین تحریک انصاف جناب عمران خان صاحب کا مشکور ہوں جنہوں نے مجھے یہ خدمت کا موقع فراہم کیا ۔ میں تحریک انصاف اور اپنے حلقے کے عوام کا بھی شکر گزار ہوں…

Although some former leaders have attempted to rejoin, the PTI’s current leadership, which includes many new members, has resolved not to reintegrate those who have previously left the party.
