MULTAN: Javed Hashmi, suspended president of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, said Tuesday Shah Mahmood Qureshi and Jahangir Tareen were illegally elected as office bearers of the PTI.
Talking to media after submitting his nomination papers for NA-149 election, due on Oct 16, he said intra-party elections of both the office bearers were illegal as per the PTIs constitution.
Only I and Imran Khan were elected constitutionally, he said, adding both Qureshi and Tareen have ruined the party.
Hashmi submitted his nomination papers as an independent candidate.
He said that he has not received any show-cause notice up till now, adding if he was called by Imran Khan he would go to meet him.
Yesterday, PTI formally announced to have sent a show-cause notice to Hashmi for alleged violation of party discipline.
Hashmi said that he had decided to resign from the National Assembly seat after PTI insulted mandate of the voters of his constituency.
I decided to resign from NA seat three months ago, he said, adding speaker of the National Assembly did not fulfill his responsibility vis--vis resignations from PTI members.
Thats why I personally announced my resignation on the floor of the assembly, Hashmi added. Samaa
