Islamabad: According to ARY News, former Pakistan Minister Fawad Chaudhry has said that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)’s present leadership and attorneys are attempting to usurp the party leadership from its founder, Imran Khan.

According to sources, Chaudhry said that Imran Khan was being targeted by the PTI leadership and legal staff. He said that some individuals used Khan’s identity to join the National Assembly while covertly expressing the desire to have him and other prominent party members convicted. “The existing leadership and PTI attorneys are attempting to seize control of the party.

He said that there is now a rush to meet the founder and mislead him. According to ARY News, Chaudhry also criticised the PTI’s legal team for failing to attend before the Supreme Court.

“Today, not a single PTI attorney showed up before the Supreme Court. The former minister said that they were eroding the PTI founder’s rights.

He said that the PTI leadership was collaborating with the government. Fawad Chaudhry and Shoaib Shaheen, the head of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), got into a fight outside Adiala Jail earlier.

According to reports cited by ARY News, Fawad Chaudhry reportedly slapped Shoaib Shaheen during the heated dispute between the two leaders. He said that the PTI leader had attacked him at the jail’s Gate No. 5 when he was protesting to Imran Khan about Chaudhry.

According to Shaheen, he was hurt in the altercation. Fawad Chaudhry responded to the altercation by accusing Shoaib Shaheen of disparaging Imran Khan on a television show.

According to Chaudhry, he had requested that Shaheen refrain from saying such things. But things got out of hand, and a fight broke out between two leaders. Following directives from Imran Khan, PTI broke up its relationship with Fawad Chaudhry on December 1st of last year.
