The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has decided to issue a show-cause notice to its National Assembly member, Mirza Iqbal Afridi, over his recent conduct, party sources confirmed on Wednesday.
Decision Made During Parliamentary Party Meeting
According to sources, the decision was reached during a PTI parliamentary party meeting where members discussed Afridi's behavior and recent altercations involving fellow party lawmakers. The meeting highlighted concerns over internal discipline and the need to address actions that could harm party cohesion.
Details of the Altercations
Afridi had a dispute with PTI leader Junaid Akbar during the previous parliamentary session. The nature of the dispute was not disclosed, but it was serious enough to prompt party leadership to take action. Additionally, Afridi was involved in an argument with MNA Sibghatullah outside Adiala Jail a day earlier, further escalating tensions within the party.
Party Sources Confirm Show-Cause Notice
Party sources stated that the show-cause notice is a formal step to seek an explanation from Afridi regarding his conduct. The notice will require him to respond within a specified timeframe, after which the party will decide on further disciplinary action if necessary. The decision underscores PTI's commitment to maintaining internal discipline and accountability among its members.
