The PPP secretary general on Thursday said that the party has decided to “stand with the federal cabinet’s decisions”, days after a few senior party members decried the government’s announcement to ban the PTI.
Earlier this week, the federal government announced that it had decided to ban the party and seek Article 6 proceedings against its founder Imran Khan, ex-president Dr Arif Alvi, and former National Assembly deputy speaker Qasim Suri.
Several senior PPP leaders opposed the move, with former senators Raza Rabbani and Farhatullah Babar openly criticising the idea.
On the other hand, PPP stalwart Khursheed Shah said the party’s leadership — despite being part of the ruling coalition — was not taken on board regarding the decision.
Later, however, the PPP distanced itself from the statements of its senior members, terming them “personal opinions”, highlighting that the issue had not been discussed at any level within the party.
On Thursday, PPP Secretary General Nayyar Hussain Bokhari once again clarified the party’s stance, solidifying its status as the government’s ally.
“PPP stands with the government and will endorse the decisions of the federal cabinet,” Bokhari told media.
