Sher Afzal Marwat’s Expulsion Sparks Friction in PTI. In a recent PTI meeting, tensions flared as PTI’s senior leaders clashed over Sher Afzal Marwat’s Expulsion from the party’s political committee. Asad Qaiser and Senator Shibli Faraz found themselves at odds, exchanging heated words regarding Marwat’s removal.
Asad Qaiser, a longstanding member of PTI since its inception in 1995, voiced his discontent with Marwat’s expulsion, labeling it as “unjust.” Shibli Faraz, however, questioned Qaiser’s authority to comment on party policies, igniting a verbal spat between the two.
Amidst the heated exchange, Qaiser emphasized the perceived injustice of using the political committee against Sher Afzal Marwat. His stance garnered support from fellow committee members, pressuring Faraz to apologize for his conduct during the meeting.
Sources revealed that Faraz eventually offered an apology for his behavior, but Qaiser, evidently displeased, exited the meeting premises. The rift within PTI became more pronounced following Sher Afzal Marwat’s expulsion, which came after his public criticism of party leaders and refusal to adhere to their directives.
PTI Secretary General Omar Ayub Khan confirmed Sher Afzal Marwat’s expulsion from both core and political committees, citing directives from party founder Imran Khan. Sher Afzal Marwat’s actions were deemed in violation of the party’s code of conduct and policy, leading to the issuance of a show-cause notice.
Despite Marwat’s contributions to the party, Imran Khan expressed disappointment over his repeated defiance of party policies. Khan emphasized the importance of adherence to party guidelines and warned against damaging the party’s reputation through irresponsible statements.
In light of the escalating tensions, PTI faces internal challenges as it strives to maintain unity and uphold its principles amidst dissenting voices. The episode underscores the complexities of managing a political party and navigating interpersonal dynamics within its ranks.
