The Pakistan Muslim League-N on Saturday expelled its long-time leader Sardar Mehtab Abbasi for continuously ‘violating party discipline.’ The PML-N also terminated the basic party membership of Abbasi who also served as former Khyber Pakhtunkhwa governor.
In a statement, PML-N Secretary General Ahsan Iqbal said that Mehtab Abbasi has been expelled from party for continuous “violation of party discipline”. “The action was taken on instructions of party president Shehbaz Sharif,” he added.
The development came a day after Sardar Mehtab Abbasi announced his support for PTI member, who is contesting as ‘independent candidate’ from Abbottabad’s NA-17 constituency.
