After Fawad Chaudhry, now Asad Umar has announced his resignation from the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party. This is just the latest in a series of high-profile resignations from the party, which has been rocked by scandal in recent months.
Chaudhry, who was Imran Khan's close aide and one of the chief architects of his 2018 election win, resigned on Wednesday evening. In a statement, he said that he was "taking a break from politics" and that he had "parted ways" with Khan.
Chaudhry's resignation comes just days after Shireen Mazari, another top PTI leader, resigned from the party. Mazari resigned after condemning the violent protests that were staged by Khan's supporters on May 9.
The protests were sparked by Khan's ouster as prime minister. Khan has accused the United States of conspiring to remove him from power, but there is no evidence to support his claims.
The resignations of Chaudhry, Mazari, and other top PTI leaders are a major blow to Khan. They suggest that he is losing support within his own party.
It remains to be seen what will happen to Khan and the PTI. But one thing is for sure: the scandal is far from over.
