PTI leader Hammad Azhar has announced his resignation as PTI Punjab President citing internal lobbying and lack of access to PTI founder Imran Khan, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

In a tweet on his social account X, Hammad Azhar said that PTI made number of key decisions in Punjab in which his consent and opinion was not included. He said in number of decisions, one sided information was shared with Imran Khan and decision were made on the basis of lobbing instead of observing merit.

He said there was lot of strictness over his movement and he could not go to Adiala Jail. "Unfortunately, I no longer have access to Imran Khan," Azhar tweeted on Thursday, adding, "I did not hold any press conference, nor did I make any deal."

He said some circles were lobbing for a long time to change PTI Lahore chapter head Ch Asghar. Today some elements got success and they won.

Hammad said Ch Asghar remained in jail for two months and he won election from Nawaz Sharif’s constituency and he became PTI Lahore chapter president three months back.

Hammad made it clear that he was Imran Khan worker and he will remain as PTI worker in future.

Azhar, who formerly held the position of finance minister under the PTI government, had gone into hiding following a government crackdown on the party leadership last year after the May 9 incidents.
