Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has served party leader and National Assembly Member Sher Afzal Marwat with a show-cause notice, following his public criticism of the party’s Secretary General Salman Akram Raja.
The action was taken on the direct instructions of PTI’s founding chairman, Imran Khan, the show-casue notice issued on Sunday mentioned.
The notice, issued by PTI Additional Secretary General Firdaus Shamim Naqvi, accuses Marwat of violating party policy by making “adverse and disparaging remarks” about Raja and the ongoing negotiations with the government.
The notice asserts that Marwat’s actions disregarded clear directives from Khan and caused harm to the party.
The notice says that as a member of both the National Assembly and PTI’s core committee, Marwat is fully aware of the party’s policies, including the prohibition against making public comments against party office-bearers.
It further accuses him of previous misconduct and criticises his “failure to consider the consequences of his remarks.”
“You have, amongst others, made disparaging remarks against the Secretary General of PTI and even made adverse comments on the ongoing negotiations. This is clear violation of the Party Policy and Instructions issued by Founding Chairman, Imran Khan,” the notice reads
