According to ARY News, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) terminated the party memberships of 22 people on Saturday for breaking party rules. A Pakistani news outlet is called ARY News. 22 people had their party memberships terminated as a result of their violations of the party’s policies, according to a notification signed by PTI’s secretary general, Umar Ayub.

The memberships of Mahmood Khan, Zia Ullah Khan Bangash, and Shaukat Ali, Muhammad Yaqoob Sheikh, Ehtesham Javed Akbar, and Aghaz Ikramullah Gandapur were terminated.
The PTI also expelled Muhammad Iqbal Wazir, Zahoor Shakir, Wilson Wazir, and Syed Muhammad Ishtiaq Urmar from the party. Syed Iqbal Mian and Syed Ghazi Ghazan Jamal Orakzai were also stripped off their party memberships.
Sher Akbar Khan, Shah Faisal Khan, Saleh Muhammad, and Mufti Obaidullah Khan were among those whose party membership was terminated, and the same fate befell Nadeem Khyal Khan, Mohammad Shafiq Afridi, and Mohammad Didar, as per ARY News.
Additionally, Mohibullah Khan, Ibrahim Khattak, and Ahmed Hussain Shah were also expelled from PTI.

According to a former PTI government official, Pakistan’s economy would have collapsed if the Imran Khan-led administration had remained in power until the end of its term, according to Geo News. The PTI-led administration was overthrown in April 2022. Imran Khan’s resignation as prime minister following a no-confidence vote allowed Shehbaz Sharif and his allies to take over the government, which was then overthrown. The current authorities, who were then in the Opposition, claimed that economic mismanagement and the growing burden of inflation on the populace were two of the main factors in the overthrow of the Imran Khan-led government.
