PTI terminates Faisal Vawda’s basic membership

Chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Imran Khan, on Saturday announced that the membership of party leader Faisal Vawda stands terminated for failing to respond to the show-cause notice issued to him on October 26.

PTI confirmed the termination of Vawda’s basic membership from the official party account on Twitter.

Earlier in the week, Vawda had made claims that the party’s long march would “witness bloodshed, death, and funerals.” After this, the PTI suspended Vawda and said that he would not be allowed to hold any party office or represent the party in the media as he had “grossly violated discipline by giving statements against party policies and guidelines”.

Shortly after his hard-hitting presser, a show-cause notice was sent to him on the instructions of Khan, and Vawda’s party membership was suspended.

The notification, shared by PTI’s Sindh chapter President Ali Zaidi, says, “You have grossly violated discipline by giving statements against party policies and guidelines.”

“You are not allowed to hold any party office or represent the party in the media,” it added.
