PTI meeting backs negotiations as leaders clash over party discipline

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders have called for a stronger role for the party's parliamentary group alongside its core and political committees, according to sources familiar with a recent meeting.

Participants also voiced concern over party members making critical statements about their own colleagues in the media. They called on PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan to investigate those involved, sources said.

During the meeting, Mashal Yousafzai reportedly expressed reservations about Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi and the opposition leadership. She questioned the focus on organising a long march while the party's founder was unwell, saying negotiations should have been given greater priority.
