ISLAMABAD: Chairman Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) Barrister Gohar Ali Khan terming Sher Afzal Marwat as a “loyal” said that the notification of Sher Afzal Marwat’s expulsion from the party is ‘fake’.

Barrister Gohar Ali said that he did not know who had issued instructions and who was taking decisions like Marwat’s expulsion from the party.

“It had not been brought to my knowledge that founder PTI had issued such instructions. I will meet the founder of PTI and will put the whole situation before Imran Khan,” Gohar added.

He said the membership of Sher Afzal Marwat was terminated without any committee who would call him for a response.

“I will meet Imran Khan today and reverse this notification, Sher Afzal Marwat was a member of our party and was loyal to Imran Khan,” Gohar said.
