PPP issues show cause notice to Latif Khosa

ISLAMABAD: Syed Nayyer Hussain Bokhari, Secretary General of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), on Thursday issued a show cause notice to Sardar Latif Khan Khosa, a member of the Central Executive Committee (CEC) of the party.

The notice was issued because Khosa had defended, pleaded for, and represented the leader of another political party in cases without obtaining prior approval from the PPP leadership.

The decision to issue the show cause notice received the endorsement of the party’s leadership.

Notably, the individual Khosa was defending had already been convicted in a case under the Official Secrets Act.

During a speech delivered at a lawyers’ function, Khosa also criticised the state’s policy regarding classified information, the official news agency reported.

Khosa has been granted a seven-day period to respond to the show cause notice, wherein he must provide a satisfactory explanation for his actions.

It is worth noting that the notice explicitly warns that failure to provide a satisfactory response within the specified time frame could lead to the termination of Latif Khosa’s membership of the party.
