Pakistan's Insaf Party is facing a wave of resignations in the early ranks following the violence that followed Imran Khan's arrest on May 9. The party's first vice president and former information minister Fouad Chaudhry announced on Wednesday his resignation from the party.
Former Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi, who was re-arrested in front of the prison on Tuesday evening, has confirmed that he will remain in the party and will not resign. The Pakistani government announced – through Defense Minister Asif Khawaja – that the government is considering the possibility of banning the Insaf party.
