A PTI leader from Jhelum has resigned from his position as the general secretary after Faraz, a brother of Fawad Chaudhry, allegedly misbehaved with him and dignitaries of the area.

“Faraz Chaudhry, brother of Fawad Chaudhry, misbehaved with me,” said Malik Mushtaq in a statement. “If he [Faraz] came to the area, I will kick him.”

Mushtaq served as the party’s general secretary in the Bai Des area of the Jhelum Tehsil.

When asked about the incident, Fawad apparently prioritized national matters instead of local matters. “Pehly des ka kuch karlein phir bai des ka karelngy,” he told Aaj News.

Fawad was elected to the National Assembly as a candidate of PTI from Constituency NA-67 (Jhelum-II) in the 2018 general election.
