Around 150 Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) workers staged a protest over horse-trading outside MPA Javed Nasim’s residence on Dalazak Road locality of Peshawar after he backed Senate election candidates other than those holding PTI tickets.

Led by Insaf Student Federation (ISF) KP President Sohail Afridi and PTI Peshawar General Secretary Younas Zaheer, the protesters carried placards inscribed with slogans, “Javed Nasim is a traitor.”

There were reports that some of the workers had resorted to aerial firing.

Earlier on Monday, Javed Nasim said that he had replied to a show-cause notice issued to him by the party.

“I have submitted my reply to those who had issued it,” Nasim said.

Earlier on Sunday, Nasim was issued a show-cause notice by PTI chairman Imran Khan for seconding nomination papers of Waqar Ahmed Khan and Fozia Fakhruzaman, who are not PTI members. He was asked to reply within 24 hours.
