In particular I want to thank the NA 54 team and the voters who elected me twice. I have tried my best to serve the constituency that I was elected from. May Allah\u2019s blessings shine upon the Pakistani nation,\u201d he remarked.<br \/>\nHe also thanked his voters of NA-54 constituency for electing him MNA twice.<br \/>\n\u201cI have tried my best to serve the constituency, which elected me. May Allah bless the nation with his bounties,\u201d he said in the message.<br \/>\nIt merits mention here that Asad Umar was once a close confidant of PTI chairman. He also served as secretary general of the party. During the last government of PTI, Asad Umar also held the portfolio of finance minister.<br \/>\nOne by one, almost all PTI stalwarts are quitting the party following the riots erupted after the arrest of PTI Chairman Imran Khan on May 9.<br \/>\nOn the tragic day of May 9, the political vandals attacked the state property and military installations and created a chaos unprecedented in the history of Pakistan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD Former federal development minister in the PTI government Asad Umar has announced to quit politics completely while denouncing the policy of confrontation with the state institutions.
