MNA Sher Afzal Marwat made his first statement on Thursday after being expelled from the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
Expressing his thoughts on Samaa TV, Marwat said, "I am deferring my stance regarding the party for the time being. PTI founder Imran Khan has not made the decision of expelling me from the party. Some of the specific persons who meet Imran Khan are involved in expelling me."
"The PTI founder cannot make such decisions," said Marwat.
"If there is a dispute between the parties, the political party [PTI] does not become a party," he said.
"In my case, the PTI was a party from day one," said Marwat.
