PTI leader Sher Afzal Marwat says Imran Khan has barred party-backed lawmakers from engaging with MNAs who “stole PTI’s mandate”.

“He has given clear instructions,” the PTI senior vice chairman said in a media talk outside Adiala Jail. “Imran said engaging with them will make everything look like a joke to the public.”

Imran further said that it was not the responsibility of “15-20 MNAs” to protest but rather of the entire party, Marwat said.

“God willing, the entire opposition will stand on the floor to protest next time,” he added.
