The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chapter on Saturday served show cause notices to five senior members, reported the 24NewsHD TV channel.

 Sardar Mehtab Abbasi, Iqbal Zafar Jhagra, Arbab Khizar Hayat, Farid Mufakir Khan, and Esal Khan were served notices for violating the party discipline.

The show cause notice was signed by PML-N KP General Secretary Murtaza Javed Abbasi. 

The five PML-N stalwarts were accused of revolting against the Party’s decisions, making conspiracy to divide the Party in KP into two factions, giving statements in print and electronic media against the Party leadership, and making insulting speeches at different places.

They were removed from the Party offices by the President PML-N KP and were directed to give a reply to the show cause notice either personally or in writing within 15 days. In case of failure, their basic membership with the Party would be canceled.

The notice read out that PML-N had given them important positions in the Party and the government but despite it, they revolted against the Party’s decisions and violated the discipline of the Party.
