LAHORE: The Pakistan Peoples Party suspended on Tuesday the Central Executive Committee membership of Dr Israr Shah over violation of party discipline.
PPP Secretary General Jehangir Badar confirmed Geo that the membership of Dr Israr Shah was suspended, saying it was not suitable to openly discuss the party?s internal affairs.
If we did not take action against the violation of party discipline, it would become difficult to run the party?s affairs, he justified.
It may be noted here that Dr Israr Shah had written an open letter against Federal Law Minister Babar Awan, which was then published in newspapers.
When contacted, Dr. Shah told Geo that he was not formally informed about the decision.
He said that terrorists had broken his legs, but some of the party?s members, who are close to Co-Chairman, want to behead him.
