Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Sunday suspended the party membership of Hamid Khan – a founding member of the PTI – for allegedly tarnishing the party’s image in print and electronic media by speaking against it. According to a show-cause issued on Sunday, the senior lawyer has been given seven days to explain his position for defaming the party. The decision to suspend Khan’s membership was taken by the party’s chairman, Prime Minister Imran Khan. In addition, the senior PTI member has been barred from speaking over the matter on electronic, print and social media while the inquiry is underway. He also cast doubts on the ongoing anti-corruption campaign being carried out by his party.
