ISLAMABAD, FEB 14 (DNA):Former Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Sher Afzal Marwat echoed the well-known phrase “mujhe kyun nikala? (Why was I removed?)” after being expelled from the Imran Khan-founded party, prompting laughter from the treasury members in the National Assembly.
During the assembly session, Marwat, who usually entered through the opposition gate, made his way in through the government entrance instead.
His arrival was met with desk-thumping by government lawmakers, leading the Speaker of the National Assembly to quip: “Don’t get him in trouble.”
While responding to a question during the session’s Q&A segment, the speaker asked Marwat to comment on the merger of mobile companies. However, instead of addressing the topic, Marwat responded: “My only question right now is to my own people — why was I removed?”
His remarks triggered laughter among government members, while PTI lawmakers remained silent. Spotting PTI parliamentary leader Barrister Gohar Ali Khan, Marwat urged the government members to support him. In response, they chanted slogans such as “Why was Marwat removed?” and “Oppressors, answer us! Give Marwat justice!”
During the proceedings, PML-N’s Hanif Abbasi lightheartedly assured Marwat that they stood with him and would help send him back to the PTI.
The former ruling party has thrown out Marwat over repeated violations of the party discipline. However, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur has urged the ex-premier to bring him back to the fold.
