Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's (PTI) political committee has strongly condemned Fawad Chaudhry's physical assault on party leader Shoaib Shaheen outside Adiala Jail, calling it an "unprovoked and disgraceful act" that reflects a preference for brute force over reason and logic.
In a strongly worded statement, the party termed the attack an expression of "primal instincts over reason and logic".
It further asserted that this was not the first time Fawad had resorted to force and intimidation to settle scores, with several similar incidents linked to his past behaviour.
The statement also accused Fawad of frequently resorting to abusive language to undermine political opponents, calling it a reflection of his habitual vulgarity and lack of decorum.
It condemned his actions as "criminal" and a "slap on PTI's face," rather than just an act of aggression against Shaheen alone.
The committee went on to label Fawad a "coward, fugitive and political traitor" who had "stabbed PTI's political struggle for constitutional restoration, rule of law, and democracy in the back before sneaking away through the backdoor".
The statement also decried his continued "hypocrisy," calling it a defining trait of his character.
According to the party, Fawad's outburst was driven by frustration over PTI's decision to sever all ties with him at the instructions of party founder Imran Khan.
The leadership reiterated that Fawad had no authority to present himself as a PTI representative on any forum.
Taking serious notice of the incident, PTI's political committee denounced Chaudhry's "hateful conduct in the strongest possible terms." It commended Shoaib Shaheen for prioritising patience and restraint over retaliation, reaffirming the party's unwavering support for him.
