Asad Umar says he is stepping down as secretary general.
He will also no longer remain part of the core committee.
Says "I cannot issue personal statements if I hold office."
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Asad Umar announced Wednesday that he was stepping down as the party's secretary general after serving in the position for the last 17 months.
Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, he said he would also no longer remain a part of the PTI's core committee. He clarified, however, that he was not quitting the party.
"Given the current situation [...] after May 9, it is not personally possible for me to continue performing my party leadership duties," the former federal minister said.
"I am resigning as the secretary general of PTI and as the core committee member. One of the reasons why is [...] I am outspoken and I cannot issue personal statements if I hold an office."
Umar's press conference comes hours after he was released from Rawalpindi's Adiala Jail on the Islamabad High Court's (IHC) order.
