Asad Qaiser and Shibli Faraz clash over Marwat’s ouster from PTI committee

Differences between Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) continue to increase as senior leaders Asad Qaiser and Shibli Faraz had a war of words over the expulsion of Sher Afzal Marwat from PTI’s committee, Geo News reported.

During a meeting of the party’s political committee, Asad Qaiser remarked that Marwat’s ouster from PTI committees was an “injustice”.

Shibli Faraz questioned Qaiser who is he to speak on party policy issues. To this, Qaiser said: “You have joined the party for a few years. I have been with Imran Khan since 1995.”

“Who are you to talk to me like this? The way the political committee was used against Sher Afzal Marwat is an injustice,” Qaiser said after which the political committee members pressured Faraz to apologise.

On May 9, PTI Secretary General Omar Ayub Khan said that Marwat has been expelled from the party’s core and political committees on Imran Khan’s instructions.

He was expelled after Marwat had publicly criticised the PTI top leadership.
