MULTAN: Senior politician Javed Hashmi said on Wednesday that a show-cause notice served on him today by the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) was against the constitution of the party.

Addressing a press conference here at his residence, he lashed out at PTI Secretary General Jahangir Khan Tareen, saying: “They are the people who have ruined the party's future.”

He said that ironically no specific charges had been levelled against him in the notice.

“Those who had never been elected, have never seen the face of a voter, cannot suspend an elected president of the party,” Hashmi said.

He added: “They should know who they are addressing, if they want explanation, I would go to the container to contact people who voted him in majority.”

He also took a dig at Pakistan Awami Tekreek (PAT) chief Tahirul Qadri and Awami Muslim League (AML) chief Sheikh Rasheed Ahmad, calling them 'honorary chairmen' of PTI.

Hashmi dispelled the impression that either PPP or PML-N were going to support him as an independent candidate in NA-149.

However, he said, if PML-N had decided not to field their candidate against him, it could mean that they 'realised their mistakes'.

He ruled out any possibility of re-joining the 'N-league' after success in by-polls from NA-149 constituency.
