PTI leader Halim Adil Sheikh has made it clear that those who left the PTI in times of distress won’t be allowed to join the party again.

Speaking to the media, he said: “Those who want to come back to the party, they won’t be allowed to. The ones who are publishing videos, none of them will be allowed to.”

Sheikh highlighted that former federal minister Ali Zaidi, who parted ways with the party post May 9 riots, “backstabbed” ex-prime minister Imran Khan.

The PTI leader said party workers like Yasmin Rashid, Mehmoodur Rasheed, and Sanam Javed were “our heroes” and loyalists of the party.

“We will not betray PTI loyalists and workers,” he concluded.
