ISLAMABAD (Kashmir English): Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) has officially expelled 12 dissident members of the assembly from the party for violating party discipline and betraying the leadership.
The expelled members of the assembly include Chief Minister Haji Gulbar Khan, as well as the Minister of Interior and the Minister of Planning and Development.
One of these individuals also tried to convince the party leadership of their future loyalty but that did not work.
The minister repeatedly gave timelines for separating from the government benches but never fulfilled his assurances.
Expelled members:
- Haji Gulbar Khan
- Syed Amjad Zaidi
- Raja Azam Khan
- Raja Nasir
- Mushtaq Ahmed
- Dilshad Bano
- Suraiya Zaman
- Fazal Rahim
- Shams-ul-Haq Lone
- Abdul Hameed
- Haji Shah Baig
- Fatehullah Khan
All these members have been expelled from the party on the basis of voting against party policy, forming a forward bloc, and deviating from Imran Khan and the party’s policy.
Barred from using name of PTI
These individuals have been strictly prohibited from using the name, flag, or designation of Tehreek-e-Insaf, failing which legal action will be taken.
The party said that the step was necessary to honour the sacrifices of ideological workers and maintain party discipline.
