ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Saturday issued a show-cause notice to party leader Sher Afzal Marwat after he made allegations against former chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan.
In the warning, the PTI requested that Marwat send an apologetic letter within two days, stating that if a sufficient response was not provided, action would be taken in accordance with party policy.
“A tense situation has arisen due to your statement,” said the former ruling party in a statement.
A day earlier, Marwat stated that Barrister Gohar Khan was “removed” as head of the erstwhile ruling party due to “unsatisfactory” performance.
His statements came the day after Gohar announced Barrister Ali Zafar as the PTI’s next chairman nominee. The party’s internal elections are set to take place in March 3.
Marwat told News: “Gohar’s removal as chairman was due to incompetence and poor performance.” Barrister Gohar is a gentleman, however his performance was subpar.”
Responding to a query, the PTI leader stated that Gohar did not match the workers’ expectations. “To run a party office, one has to be active all the time, but this did not happen.”
The party leadership’s response to the election results was unsatisfactory, he added, adding that Gohar should have led the party after the polls, but he failed.
