— Pakistan Peoples Party - PPP (@PPP_Org) September 22, 2023According to PPP Secretary General Nayyar Bukhari, the decision was taken after lawyer Khosa failed to reply to the show-cause notice issued to him by the party last week.
On Sept 14, the seasoned leader was issued a show-cause notice for defending and representing the head of another political party without prior approval of the party's leadership in court.
"You being a member of Central Executive Committee of Pakistan [Peoples Party] are defending/ pleading/ representing a head of another political party without prior approval of leadership in corruption cases in which he has been convicted and in a case against him under official secret Act, while delivering a speech in lawyers function you criticized the state policy regarding cipher," said the notice served to Mr Khosa.
