PTI suspends membership of Sher Afzal Marwat

Lahore: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) reportedly suspended the membership of Sher Afzal Marwat, a prominent party leader elected to the National Assembly in the February 8 polls, the sources said on Friday.

The sources said that the PTI leaders met with the incarcerated party founder Imran Khan on Thursday, during which the decision regarding Marwat was made.

The party leaders claimed that Sher Afzal Marwat had been consistently violating party discipline over the past month.

“During the meeting with Imran Khan, it was agreed that no leader is above the party, and all other leaders would face similar consequences if they crossed the party line,” they added.

Earlier, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf issued a show-cause notice to Sher Afzal Marwat for making irresponsible statements.

The details showed that the notice, issued by PTI Secretary General Omar Ayub Khan, asked Marwat to explain his statements within three days, which were considered damaging to the party’s reputation.

The notice stated that such statements were against the party’s discipline and violated the clear instructions of the party’s founder, Imran Khan, who emphasized the importance of responsible behavior.

Marwat was warned that failure to respond or provide a satisfactory explanation could result in further disciplinary action.
