Firdous Ashiq Awan announced her resignation from Imran Khan's party on Friday, citing the recent violent and "terrorist activities." Awan, aged 53, previously served as Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Information and Broadcasting from 2019 to 2020, PTI reported.

Awan is the latest senior leader to step down from Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party. As the former Federal Minister for Population Welfare, she expressed her decision to part ways with PTI due to the party's involvement in "violent and terrorist activities."
