Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan has issued a directive to Sher Afzal Marwat, instructing him to suspend all political activities in Sindh and return to Islamabad. This decision comes in the wake of Marwat’s recent exchange of barbs with leaders within his party, particularly over their conduct in the province of Sindh.
Sher Afzal Marwat, known for his assertive and outspoken approach, had embarked on a rapid tour of Sindh to energize the party base in preparation for the upcoming general elections. However, his statements against fellow PTI leaders and the termination of an alliance with JUI-Sherani sparked internal tensions.
In a notable post on social media, Marwat directly mentioned PTI leaders, Hamid Khan and Raoof Hassan, labeling them as ‘sick-minded.’ This public airing of grievances created a rift within the party, prompting Imran Khan to intervene and take action.
Initially, Marwat announced the suspension of his political campaign, citing the internal conflicts. However, he subsequently declared the resumption of his activities, asserting that the decision was in accordance with a specific assignment from Imran Khan.
The internal discord within PTI, as evidenced by the public exchange between Marwat and other leaders, underscores challenges within the party as it navigates the complex political landscape leading up to the general elections. The episode also highlights the importance of internal cohesion for a political party aiming to secure a strong position in the electoral arena.
