The PTI leadership has once again issued a show-cause notice to party leader Sher Afzal Marwat for giving a statement against the party lines, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
In the notice issued on Monday, Marwat, who is also a fiery orator, was also barred from representing the party on media until and unless he submitted his reply.
The notice, which cited multiple instances of misconduct, accuses Marwat of making unwarranted public remarks against members of the party’s negotiation team, thereby undermining ongoing discussions and breaching the party’s code of conduct.
Through the notice, Sher Afzal Marwat has been directed to respond to issuing statements against the party policy and party’s secretary-general Salman Akram Raja.
The notice further directed Marwat to defend himself within seven days while advising him not to appear on any other public media platform as a representative of the party or raise any more issues during that time.
As per details, the notice was issued by the then-PTI secretary general Omar Ayub Khan and asked Marwat to explain his statements, which were deemed damaging to the party’s reputation.
The notice warned that failure to comply within the stipulated timeframe will result in further disciplinary action in accordance with PTI’s policy guidelines.
In reaction, Marwat has decided to keep distance from the media. “On the advice of my friends I have decided to stay away from the media for a week or two,” Marwat said in a post uploaded on X platform.
He also urged his friends in media not to force him to participate in any TV programme.
Earlier in May 2024, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) also issued a show-cause notice to Sher Afzal Marwat for making irresponsible statements.
