PTI leader Raja Khurram Nawaz speaks to reporters announcing his departure from the party during a press conference on May 27, 2023 in Islamabad, Pakistan. Amid a deep political crisis, several of former prime minister Imran's close aides and members have resigned over the past two weeks from Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Party (PTI) following violent protests over Khan's arrest. As a result of the protests, several dissidents have been arrested and the army has announced that they will be tried in military courts.
