    Unlike Fawad Chaudhry, I will not beg to be taken back into PTI: Sher Afzal Marwat

    Disgruntled Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Sher Afzal Marwat, whose party membership has been suspended, recently talking with Azad Urdu channel about his status in the party. He stated, “If PTI kicks me out, then I won’t beg them like Fawad Chaudhry to take me back.”

    “I am with Khan and for his cause. After May 9, whatever jalsas and conventions I did, it was for the right cause, I have never benefitted personally from PTI,” stated Marwat.

    Marwat recalled that he came to the forefront only with his own consent for the people’s “haqeeqi azadi” and Khan’s mission.

    He stated, “When misunderstandings increased to such an extent that my party membership was suspended, and they decide to kick me out of the party, I will leave.”

    Marwat said he still wants to work with party founder Imran Khan; however, he won’t beg to be taken back.

    ‘Views my own about Saudi’s role in IK’s removal’; Marwat tries damage control for PTI

    Sher Afzal Marwat has offered clarification on his allegation that Saudi Arabia was involved in the ouster of former Prime Minister Imran Khan in 2022.

    Taking to X (formerly Twitter), he wrote, “The statement made by me in live show was based on my personal views. I never claimed in my interview that the stance had any official backing of the PTI.”

    Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has ‘criticised’ its maverick member Sher Afzal Marwat for alleging that Saudi Arabia played a role in the ouster of former Prime Minister Imran Khan.

    PTI’s official X (formerly Twitter) account posted a statement which read, “Marwat’s views do not undermine the strategy or position of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf in any way, nor do they consider them as factual statements. This may be his personal opinion which is not supported or approved by the leadership or workers of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf at any level.”

    Moreover, the post said that Saudi Arabia is one of Pakistan’s closest and most trusted Islamic brotherhood countries and Imran Khan had a relationship of mutual respect and trust with Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman (MBS).

    Meanwhile, Imran Khan’s close aide Zulfi Bukhari also clarified on X, “Neither Imran Khan nor PTI holds any such opinion about the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. KSA has ALWAYS been & will be our closest brotherly country.”

    He also said that the recent visit by the Saudi delegation is a testament to Pakistan’s brotherly relations with KSA.

    Moonis Elahi also said his piece on X, “I think Sher Afzal Marwat Sahib is mistaken. His recent statement against Saudi Arabia is also not correct because PM Imran Khan never mentioned Saudi Arabia in the regime change plan. As far as I remember, Khan Sahib has always used good words for the Saudi government.”

    Earlier, Sher Afzal Marwat, the popular Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) member, in a talk show on GTV, gave a new twist to the alleged ‘regime change’ of 2022 when he remarked that Saudi Arabia was directly involved in the ouster of former prime minister Imran Khan.

    “This regime change operation took place due to cooperation between the two countries Saudi Arabia and America. Saudis played the role of a conduit in the regime change,” said the PTI member.

    When anchorperson Gharida Farooqi said to Marwat that this is a very serious allegation because Saudi Arabia is a brotherly country of Pakistan, he replied that his allegations are a reality because KSA makes policies on the whims of the USA.

    “Someone made an allegation on Imran Khan that he did mimicry of Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman (MBS) and he got to know about it so that could also be the reason for this,”, said Marwat after being questioned by the journalist about Saudia’s motivation for it.

    Afridi criticised the party leadership even saying there were “snakes” who had become a part of the PTI.

    The rifts between the party leadership have been increasing with many members divided on different matters related to party.

  • Why did PTI’s Sher Afzal Marwat slap a private guard?

    Why did PTI’s Sher Afzal Marwat slap a private guard?

    Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Sher Afzal Marwat can be seen in a video slapping a man at a political rally in Peshawar.

    As per the details of Geo News, Marwat slapped his personal guard in anger as he got stuck in the midst of a crowd of PTI supporters.

    “In view of terrorism, my guard was telling me to sit in the car,” the politician said, adding that he was pushing the workers away and restricting them from coming near him.

    “I forbade the guard not to pull me,” Marwat said.

    Whatever the reason for the slap, violence in any form is reprehensible, especially when it’s unleashed by a powerful individual against a weaker one.
