Fawad Chaudhry expelled from PTI on directives of Imran Khan, says Raoof Hasan

ISLAMABAD: The Central Information Secretary of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Raoof Hasan has revealed that Fawad Chaudhry, Imran Ismail, and Ali Zaidi have been officially expelled from the party on the directives from the party founder Imran Khan.

In a discussion on a private news channel, Raoof Hasan stated that the core committee of PTI passed a resolution, which stated that these individuals would not be accepted back into the party under any circumstances.

“The rhetoric initiated by these individuals was responded by us, but the founder of PTI has now instructed us not to respond to any statement,” Rauf Hassan stated.

Hasan claimed that the three expelled members of the party had not faced any violence during their detention and were treated in VIP conditions.

Raoof Hasan also expressed concerns about their release, disclosing that it was an attempt to weaken PTI.

However, he maintained that the party would emerge stronger despite these challenges. “People like them will not weaken the party; instead, we will grow stronger,” he declared.
