PTI MPA issued notice for violating party discipline

Zahir Shah Sherazi Published October 4, 2014

PESHAWAR: The ruling Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Saturday served a show cause notice on its MPA Javed Naseem for violating party discipline by reportedly conducting media trial of the party leaders.

The notice served by PTI president KP chapter, Azam Swati said that Naseem had violated the party discipline by making the party issues public.

It said that any allegations against the party’s provincial lawmakers must have been brought to the notice of Chairman Imran Khan instead of speaking about it in the media.

The MPA from PK-3 constituency has been asked to explain his position in a week’s time otherwise ‘action would be taken against him’.

Earlier speaking at a press conference at Aman Park Sher Shah Soori Road, Javed Naseem had warned the party leadership that he would expose corruption of provincial ministers and their relatives.

Accompanied by his voters, Naseem chanted “Go Khattak Go” slogans, accusing the KP chief minister and the cabinet members of corruption and nepotism in the province. He said that he would expose the corrupt PTI leaders on October 15.

The PTI MPA said that he would stage a sit-in in front of the chamber office and expose their misappropriation. He also said that he would put up a legal fight against the ‘corrupt party leaders’ as according to him they were working against the true ideology of Imran Khan and the PTI.

The party, along with Dr Tahirul Qadri’s PAT, has been staging an anti-government protest sit-in in Islamabad for the last more than 50 days and had earlier rejected allegations levelled in a ‘white paper’ by federal government about the performance of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government.

Speaking at a press conference on Friday, PTI information secretary Shireen Mazari, MNA Asad Umar and four provincial ministers claimed that the allegations were baseless.

The ‘white paper’, titled “A great betrayal in the name of change: performance overview of the KP government (May 2013-Septtember 2014)”, highlighted what the government of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif termed the unfulfilled promises of the PTI.

Thumbs up to this MPA, a brave man indeed, risking his career to highlight corruption. Shame on PTI for preaching what it doesnt practice. Recently a secretary was transfered by KPK govt., because he highlighted corruption to NAB. Shame in PTI. I dont want the version of naya pakistan being implemented in KPK. Shame on PTI, Shame on Imran khan for double standards.

Just small amount of money, he has destroyed his political career, life and his future generation too. If he has any kid, I am sure these kids can't face their friends, will be called 'traitor & Daghi', like Javed Hashmi, he is now gone and unable to save his face, just some media and N group make some arrangements to show him on TV, that's it.

Just wait and see the conclusion. Seems things happening at local level. If it really is a big issue , would like to IKs response first. May be this MPA is right. Rather than jumping the guns wait to see the response from the central leader ship.

Corrupt politicians from the central government are doing well in corrupting others. I mean if this MPA really had reservations about Mr. Khattak then he should've discussed the issue with IK in closed door meetings. However, he was hellbent to malign Mr. Khattak and PTI thus he publicly did what he did. He had no particular reason to criticize Khattak other than his displeasure of Khattak visiting Bannu more than Peshawar. This MPA has tried to blackmail PTI in sensitive timed and therefore should be kicked out.

@Sher Where do you Insaafians go to be brainwashed? Can it not be possible that the guy is telling the truth? And that he is doing it out of the call of conscience and not bribery? Is there anyone who has questioned the great Khan who you don't brand corrupt? Wait for more information before passing judgment!! I am reminded of growing up watching Pakistan compete in cricket and hockey. I don't remember a single match we ever lost where one of the following was not offered as explanation: (i) the umpire/referee was dishonest (ii) the match was fixed (iii) Our players had gone out the night before and "indulged." Why? Is it not possible that sometimes our heroes lost fair and square? Think about it!!

I am not sure what PMLN thinks they are doing. They think the people if Pakistan are sheeps and they will follow what ever the come up with in the media. No dought this guy was bought by them. Shame on Nawaz and company. No progress for Pakistan as long as these creation of martial law are in power. First they level allegation against PTI government in kpk than bought this mpa from pk3 who would have no chance himself ever to be elected to make their lies stronger. Most of Pakistani might be asleep but some are awake and no ur politics PMLN. Nothing last for ever PMLN days are numbered Jabir hukumran will not last for ever learn lesson from history Nawaz. Go Nawaz go. Love IK.

@Sher When PTI IS exposed, the exposed becomes a villain and a Dhagi and democratic rights are thrown out of the window ; true colours of Imran and PTI. Watch my word the next casualty is going to be that of Shah Mahmoud Qureshi. I wonder what name you all would give him. I doubt if he can keep tolerating orders from a "babe in the woods" given to ranting and blabbering repetitive rhetoric merely to make fool of some misled youngsters. He is making exaggerated promises and these youngsters will go for his throat when he does not come up with anything. Whydoes the man not prove his worth in KPK before aspiring for any position of significance? There is no chance whatever for this pretender to the throne to become the PM of the country!! He is living in a fool's paradise and he must stay there.

Both of them has yet another thing in common; the two of them has Caligula the half mad emperor of Rome as their mentor. What a pity, Imran, the power-hungry, is out to cause more and more of anarchy. Please save me from such friends, I can take care of my enemies.

More and more scum in the PTI should expose themselves like Hashmi and this guy so that PTI would eventually become free of the black sheep within its ranks. At a time when he should be throwing his weight behind his leader he is out there maligning him instead. If it were not for Imran Khan, no one would have even known about the existence of these nobodys let alone entry into national and provincial assemblies. The timing of his hurling accusations alone is enough to tell whether he is driven by genuine grievances or simply vested interest.
