In a decisive move, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan has ordered the expulsion of lawmakers who were absent during the vote on the 26th Constitutional Amendment, sparing only Zain Qureshi.

According to PTI insiders, Imran Khan has directed the senior leadership to issue formal notifications expelling all absent members except Zain Qureshi. He has made it clear that those who failed to show up on a crucial constitutional amendment vote have no place in the party.

Khan has also sent a message to the party’s senior leadership, emphasizing that action must be taken against the absentee members without delay. The party has begun issuing show-cause notices to those who failed to participate.

PTI sources revealed that Zarqa Suharwardy, Senator Faisal Saleem, and Zain Qureshi were among those absent on the day of the amendment vote. Meanwhile, Aslam Ghumman, Riaz Fatyana, Zain Qureshi, Miqdar Ali Khan, and Aurangzeb Kachhi were already served show-cause notices.

Additionally, PTI-backed lawmakers Zahoor Qureshi, Usman Ali, and Mubarak Zaib were reportedly unreachable by the party leadership on the day of the vote.

In light of these developments, Imran Khan has now ordered the formal expulsion notification for all absent lawmakers. His move signals a zero-tolerance approach toward internal dissent and reinforces PTI’s stance on party discipline.
