PPP suspends Latif Khosa’s party membership

Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) on Friday suspended Latif Khosa’s party membership.

Senior leader and lawyer Sardar Latif Khosa’s party membership was suspended over failure to respond to a show-cause notice served over violation of the party policy.

The decision was taken by PPP Secretary General Nayyar Bukhari.

“The decision was taken after lawyer Khosa failed to reply to the show-cause notice issued to him by the party last week,” said a statement issued by the PPP.

 

PPP on Sep 14, issued a notice to Latif Khosa for defending the chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan without seeking any approval from the party.

“You being a member of Central Executive Committee of Pakistan [Peoples Party] are defending/pleading/representing a head of another political party without prior approval of leadership in corruption cases in which he has been convicted and in a case against him under official secret Act, while delivering a speech in lawyers function you criticized the state policy regarding cipher,” the notice said.

The show cause notice also mentioned that the PPP leader criticised the state policy on the cipher issue during the event, adding that Khosa’s party membership would be terminated in case of no reply within the said time period.
