      <title>PTI’s Asad Qaiser hints at reconsidering Sher Afzal Marwat’s expulsion</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330402747/ptis-asad-qaiser-hints-at-reconsidering-sher-afzal-marwats-expulsion</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader and former National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser stated that Sher Afzal Marwat’s expulsion from the party could be reconsidered.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Speaking on Aaj News’ programme Insight with Amir Zia, Qaiser emphasised that PTI must act within the legal and constitutional framework.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Addressing the ongoing political situation, Qaiser asserted that the current government is a “dummy administration” with neither authority nor legitimacy, and PTI has every right to express its reservations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;    &lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--embed  '&gt;
        &lt;div class='media__item  media__item--youtube  '&gt;&lt;iframe src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/dw1LI_AAAZY?enablejsapi=1&amp;controls=1&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0' loading='lazy' allowfullscreen='' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' width='100%' height='100%'&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        
    &lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He maintained that former Prime Minister Imran Khan wrote his letter as a patriotic Pakistani, highlighting his concerns about the country’s direction.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regarding Sher Afzal Marwat’s conduct, Qaiser suggested he should exercise caution, hinting that a review of his expulsion was possible.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On Marwat’s controversial rally in Swabi, Qaiser said he was preoccupied and unaware of the complete details.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Also, read this&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://english.aaj.tv/news/330402638/saddened-marwat-will-address-media-tonight-after-expulsion-from-pti"&gt;‘Saddened’ Marwat will address media tonight after expulsion from PTI&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://english.aaj.tv/news/330402515/pti-expels-sher-afzal-marwat-notification-issued"&gt;PTI expels Sher Afzal Marwat, notification issued&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://english.aaj.tv/news/330402733/salman-akram-raja-letters-reaching-nation-establishments"&gt;Salman Akram Raja: Letters reaching nation, establishments&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Discussing opposition alliances, Qaiser claimed PTI is close to forming an opposition coalition and consultations are underway.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He stressed the need for all political parties outside the government — along with media, civil society, and stakeholders — to come together and create a national agenda to address the country’s crisis.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;a id="govts-response" href="#govts-response" class="heading-permalink" aria-hidden="true" title="Permalink"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Govt’s response&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;During the same programme, Prime Minister’s spokesperson Ikhtiyar Wali Khan dismissed concerns over PTI’s actions, asserting that the government is unbothered.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He criticised PTI’s political manoeuvres, referring to past claims about “umpire’s fingers” and electoral fraud as mere distractions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Khan accused Imran Khan of making doomsday predictions about Pakistan’s economy after his removal from power, alleging that PML-N’s leadership had successfully steered the country away from collapse.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He further claimed that many within PTI are disillusioned with Imran Khan and may shift their support to the government.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He concluded by citing a recent survey indicating growing dissatisfaction with PTI’s leadership, reinforcing his belief that Imran Khan’s influence is waning.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This latest political exchange highlights the deepening rift between PTI and the ruling coalition, with both sides gearing up for an intense political battle in the coming months.&lt;/p&gt;
