The remarks surfaced in a video statement shared on social media by PTI leader Faisal Javed Khan. In the video, Afridi said Khan expressed concern over internal party discipline, allegedly telling him that the party was not acting according to his directives.
According to Afridi, the conversation took place during what he described as his most recent meeting with the incarcerated PTI founder. He claimed Khan voiced frustration over the situation within the party but did not publicly identify any individual leaders.
Afridi also recounted his own response during the meeting, making strong remarks about loyalty to the party leadership. He further claimed that he has repeatedly sought permission to meet Khan again and suggested he wanted to identify those allegedly disregarding the party founder’s instructions.
In the video, Afridi also made threatening comments directed at unnamed individuals he believes may be acting against Khan’s directives. Those remarks have drawn attention due to their violent nature, although no specific person was identified.
There has been no immediate public response from PTI’s central leadership regarding Afridi’s claims or his comments. Likewise, no independent verification has been provided regarding the conversation he described with Imran Khan.
The statements come at a time when PTI continues to face political and organizational challenges, with ongoing debate over party strategy and leadership while Khan remains in custody.
Political observers note that public claims made by party leaders about private meetings are often difficult to independently verify. Any allegations regarding internal disagreements or individual conduct remain subject to confirmation from the relevant parties.
