Memes Flood Social Media After Buzdar's Unexpected Resignation
With the announcement of Usman Buzdar's resignation from his post as Punjab chief minister, netizens took the opportunity to commemorate his tenure through memes.

Buzdar's resignation was viewed by many as a political sacrifice to save the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI).  In his stead, the PTI nominated Pakistan Muslim League-Q (PML-Q) leader Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi as the next chief minister.

Many joked that Buzdar's ouster was a target of the 'international conspiracy' Prime Minister Imran Khan had alluded to during his speech on Sunday.

"I strongly condemn the international conspiracy to deprive us all of Usman Buzdar’s leadership" joked one post.

After Prime Minister Imran Khan said that Usman Buzdar was as good of a friend to him as former cricket player Wasim Akram, many netizens made light of the comment, so much so that Wasim himself had to question why his name was trending.
