Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has taken action against eight members of the Sindh Assembly, expelling them for violating the rules and discipline of the party.
The party leaders who have had their memberships terminated are Bilal Ahmed, Kareem Bux Gabool, Muhammad Ali Aziz, Rabia Azfar, Imran Ali Shah, Sanjay Gangwani, Sachanand Lakhwani Sachal, and Umar Omari.
The termination notice states, “You are hereby served with a notice of termination of your basic membership from the PTI. Your membership has been terminated with immediate effect.”
This move comes just three days after the party issued show-cause notices to eight Sindh MPA’s who were in dissent, due to their support for Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) Rana Ansar’s appointment as the opposition leader in the Sindh Assembly.
