She stated that her resignation has been submitted in the greater public interest. Her resignation letter further stated her devotion and willingness to continue developing the vision of Digital Pakistan. She added, “I will continue to serve my country and the PM’s vision to my best ability”
She mentions that the recent discourse in the public sphere of her Canadian nationality is a distraction to her ability to execute on the long term vision for a digital Pakistan.
“It is unfortunate that a Pakistani’s desire to serve Pakistan is clouded by such issues”
