Sher Afzal Marwat, a member of the National Assembly (MNA), has publicly addressed his expulsion from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).

His removal, which was executed under the orders of PTI founder Imran Khan, has stirred political waves within the party and beyond.

In a long social media post, Marwat expressed deep disappointment over his expulsion, emphasising his unwavering loyalty to PTI and Imran Khan’s leadership.

He mentioned that the decision appeared to be influenced by individuals who never accepted him within the party but reassured his supporters that he had never been involved in personal disputes or internal factionalism.

Instead, he always stood by the vision of Imran Khan, prioritising the party's unity over personal conflicts.

Marwat acknowledged the difficulties faced by Imran Khan, including limited access to information and the presence of certain individuals whose actions were detrimental to the party's interests.

Despite this, he expressed confidence in the future, saying that the party's workers, who had stood by him, would continue to support justice in the future.

In a firm stance, Marwat stated that while he would accept PTI’s decision with dignity if the party did not reconsider, he would never beg for mercy. He strongly urged PTI leaders and workers to speak up against injustice and to remain united, particularly when facing difficult times.

The expelled member also took the opportunity to stress that true loyalty to the party and its ideals does not mean blind obedience.

He stated that the party should uphold democracy, transparency, and fairness, values that should guide their path forward.

Marwat reaffirmed his commitment to Imran Khan and the PTI vision, saying that his struggle was not driven by personal gains but by the desire to protect the party's integrity.

Yesterday, PTI founder and former prime minister Imran Khan directed party leaders to expel Member of the National Assembly (MNA) Sher Afzal Marwat from party.

The decision follows internal dissatisfaction with Marwat’s actions during the Swabi gathering, prompting multiple complaints to Imran Khan from party members.

Last month, PTI had issued a show cause notice to Sher Afzal Marwat for violating party discipline.

In a notice, the PTI leadership reprimanded party leader Sher Afzal Marwat, known for his fiery oratory, for making statements contrary to the party’s official position.

Additionally, Marwat was prohibited from representing the party in the media until he submitted a response to the show-cause notice. The show cause notice was issued by PTI’s Additional Secretary General, Firdous Shamim Naqvi.

The notification, issued under the direction of PTI Chairman Imran Khan, stated that Sher Afzal Marwat had previously violated party policy and made statements without careful consideration. He has been given seven days to submit his response.
