KARACHI: The Pakistan People’s Party on Monday suspended the party membership of Naheed Khan after she accused the party leadership of nepotism and cronyism.

Naheed Khan’s membership was suspended on the charge of violating party discipline despite warnings.

Earlier on Sunday, disgruntled PPP activists led by Naheed Khan had accused the party leadership of promoting cronyism and nepotism in the party and the government at the cost of ideologues and ‘true workers’.

The charges were part of a resolution adopted at a ceremony organised by the dissident group in Lahore on Sunday at the residence of Sardar Hur Bukhari to mark the 44th Foundation Day of the party.
