The PTI directed Marwat to submit an apology letter within two days, saying that his remark had created a tense situation.

The notice came a day after Marwat said that Barrister Khan was removed from the chairman post over unsatisfactory performance.

On February 22, Barrister Gohar announced that the PTI’s next chairman nominee will be Barrister Ali Zafar as the party geared up to conduct its intra-party election next month.

“Incompetence and poor performance are the reasons behind Gohar’s removal as chairman. Barrister Gohar is a gentleman but his performance was not satisfactory,” Marwat had told Geo News

According to him, Barrister Gohar failed to meet the workers’ expectations. “To run a party office, one has to be active all the time, but this did not happen.”
