ISLAMABAD — Senior Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Sher Afzal Marwat has openly criticized his party’s current leadership, labeling it incompetent and driven by bad intentions. According to Marwat, internal failures and poor decision-making have caused PTI’s rapid decline in recent months.
Marwat told the media that despite his repeated warnings about the party’s negligence, no meaningful action has been taken. “Over the past year, the party has not achieved a single success,” he said. He warned that PTI is shrinking fast due to continuous setbacks caused by ill-informed and bad-faith decisions.
The senior leader also pointed out the party’s failure to secure the release of its founder and former Prime Minister, Imran Khan, who remains detained. “There is no sign of the party’s revival,” Marwat remarked, emphasizing that the leadership has lost hope.
He accused non-political elements of interfering in PTI’s affairs, which he says is damaging the party from within. This internal discord is also threatening the success of PTI’s planned protests on August 14, 2025, Pakistan’s Independence Day.
Marwat expressed doubt about the protest’s chances, saying it could perform worse than the previous one. He also demanded that Aleema Khan be removed from political decision-making, claiming her influence is harming the party. “The party founder had advised against Aleema Khan’s involvement, yet she seems to be running the entire show,” he added.
Furthermore, Marwat questioned the role of Salman Akram as Secretary General. He asked, “Where was Salman Akram after May 9? How can he be the Secretary General? I cannot blindly follow his decisions.”
Sher Afzal Marwat’s statements highlight serious internal conflicts within PTI. His remarks focus on leadership weaknesses and ill intentions that have weakened the party’s political standing.
