PTI suspends Sher Afzal Marwat’s party membership

Sher Afzal Marwat’s party membership has been suspended by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).

Marwat, who was elected as a Member of the National Assembly (MNA) in the February 8 elections, had his membership suspended according to a report by ARY News on Friday.

PTI’s senior leadership met with incarcerated former Prime Minister Imran Khan on Thursday and decided on Sher Afzal Marwat’s status within the party.

The cancellation of Marwat’s membership was confirmed by the party’s top leadership, citing multiple violations of party discipline.

“It was concluded in the meeting with Imran Khan that no leader is above the party, and similar consequences await any leader who crosses the party line,” stated the party’s leadership.

Previously, a show-cause notice had been issued to Marwat by PTI for his reckless statements. The notice was issued by the party’s Secretary General, Omar Ayub, who directed Marwat to respond within three days.

Sher Afzal Marwat was also informed about potential further disciplinary actions in case he failed to submit a response.
