“Ali Raza has been expelled from the party for continuously breaching the policy after August 22, despite warnings,” a party statement said.
Sources said the decision was taken after Abidi, an MNA from NA-251 Karachi, was found to have been in touch with party's pro-Altaf Hussain faction based in London.

Abidi has also been asked to resign from his National Assembly seat, added the statement.
