Internal bickering: Captain Safdar’s PML-N membership suspended
The suspension was handed out by Iqbal Zafar Jhagra on the orders of PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif.
Safdar had developed differences with PML-N’s Sardar Mehtab Abbasi and Pir Sabir Shah on allegedly trying to create a power struggle.
Internal bickering had given way to a war of words with senior party leaders criticising each other openly in the media.
Safdar had locked horns with party stalwarts Sardar Mehtab Khan and Pir Sabir Shah, who have dominated party affairs in K-P for years.

@xor: For to have rift, there should be enough reasonable people who had different opinion on the matter under evaluation and discussion, which PML N have, howevere in case of PTI, non exists, and only IK under the guidance of pasha, how can there be any rift in PTI. Get some reasonable minds then there will be difference of opinion.
This is problem in dynastic politics. Why it always people like Bilawal, Monis, Hamza, Abdul Qadir etc. lead party or nation. Why not ordinary worker from party ranks lead the nation?
This is no 'noora kushti.' Nawaz knows fully well that his goose is cooked in politics. M/s. Jhagra, Mehtab and Pir Sabir have long been in the party and remain loyal to Nawaz. The step of disciplining his son-in-law is a very good step and will set an example to other politicos. The party that started the internal discipline process is Muttaheda that disciplined many of its councilors and a mini parliamentarian who now appears on TV. Captain Safdar had better learn some courtesy and play by the rules of PMLN, otherwise he is politically buried. Salams
That is what happens when you put everyone in the family in the business of politics.
Anyway symbolic, after all he is "damaad jee".
Why was he the president of Youth Wing in the first place? What credentials did he have except for being Nawaz's damaad. PMLn is a family party by all definitions of it.
this step reveals that every one is answerable in PML-N
He should have been thrown out of the party time ago. He doesn't know any thing about politics but these monkeys are kept in high positions because of family affiliation. PMLn is all about family politics.
If there is any news about PTI's internal rift, it will be treated as, PTI is doomed n dying.
all in the family - too early to be in the parliament - thanks to f.n.laws.
A bold step by the Party to keep Safdar in his limits. In fact he should be thrown out of the party to keep the unity in PML (N).
Suspended for 10 days?Does he deserve a place in party? Should have been thrown out but actually it can't happen as NS bounded by his family terms!
Muslim league N is not a party but it is a Mafia/company under a family stretched out and spilled over. It is joke with the people and trick of be-fooling them. C Safdar cannot be thrown out of party, since he is husband of the future leader of this company.
The only way PMLN will suurvive is to take N out of it
Late punishment for a crime committed in the late 90's???
Okay PLEASE, we dont want him in PTI now.. :/
@Mohd Butt: This is a family party; why do you think a 50 year old was the head of the youth wing! Only reason he removed damaad ji is because PMLN is lot of trouble in KP because of PTI popularity, same as in Punjab!
So NS is not happy with daamad ji? PMLN is finished in KP!
lol.....they are doing it when elections are around the corner,...no more fooling.
Aw Safdar.... first you get slapped by warraich in the parliament and now your sussar jee pawns you :/ naaat gooooD
Its suspended only for 10 Days, just symbolic
Lol...
PMLN in tatters!
It is just noora kusti People can not be fooled Suspention from party means nothing . It is how shareefs will get rid of senior party leaders to mske space for their good for nothing relative
Mr. Sharif runs the party as a godfather. When are the political parties named after their heads?
It's all within the family!
He should join PTI :p
Safdar deserves this, he has been a pain for quite some time now, hope PML-N gets to fix its K-P issues
A very bold step as Captain is a Damaad of Nawaz Sharif as well.
And some called it family run party, look who can do these kind of actions within the pakistan politics. Great leader Nawaz sharif, dear caption control yourself please, love you all.
Good move by Nawaz Sharif
good
Long awaited. It should have been cancelled when he made a fool out of himself in the talk show with MQM's Haider Abbas Rizvi.
mature decision made by nawaz shareef
