Suleman Shah Rashdi, a senior bureaucrat in the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, resigned from this post in a protest over the recent crackdown against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) protestors.

In a post on the social media site X, Rashdi wrote, “After today’s heart-wrenching scenes, I curse this government and its job. I announce my resignation from civil service!”

In another post shared by Rashdi he said: "My conscience has offered me two options: Either I continue as an impuissant part of 'the system' and remain a silent spectator... or I part ways with the rotten 'system' and struggle for democracy." 

In his resignation letter to the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting, Rashdi criticized the mainstream media for "turning a blind eye to the plight of citizens."
