His close associates say that he was unhappy with not being given full powers despite his nomination.
Party silence:
The PTI leadership has not yet commented on Salman Akram Raja’s resignation. Many party workers and leaders are calling his decision surprising, as he is considered an experienced and important leader of PTI.
