ISLAMABAD: Salman Ahmad, a seasoned Pakistani musician and close aide of the PTI founder, had his basic membership with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) revoked for blogging disparagingly about the family of imprisoned former premier Imran Khan.
Ahmad’s termination was announced by the previous ruling party, which accused him of “sowing division and discontent” among party members and supporters by posting “unwarranted and scurrilous posts” on social media.
It stated that the organization “had dissociated itself from your conduct and statements and had warned you about the consequences of your conduct” .
“You had been consistently asked, inter alia, through press releases issued by the Core Committee of PTI to desist from posting those objectionable posts.”
