Sher Afzal Khan Marwat, a member of PTI Chairman Imran Khan\u2019s legal team, was appointed a senior vice president of the party on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The party\u2019s official account shared the notification for Marwat\u2019s appointment, which was signed by Secretary General Omar Ayub, on social media platform X (formerly Twitter). The party said that the lawyer had been appointed senior vice president \u201cwith immediate effect\u201d.<\/p>\n

Marwat said his new responsibilities would motivate him to work harder. \u201cI am indebted to PTI Chairman Imran Khan for his trust in me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, PTI leaders Qasim Suri<\/a>, Firdous Shamim Naqvi<\/a> and Saifullah Abro<\/a> were also appointed senior vice presidents.<\/p>\n

It should be noted that Marwat represented the PTI chief in the Toshakhana trial. He became close to Imran when he launched a tirade against trial court judge Humayun Dilawar during the proceedings of the trial and was subsequently added to the PTI core committee.<\/p>\n

In October, a case was registered<\/a> against Marwat on allegations of instigating the public against state institutions through social media. The charges against him fell under sections 120-B (punishment for criminal conspiracy) and 153-A (promoting enmity between different groups) of the Pakistan Penal Code.<\/p>\n

Separately, former Punjab MPA Seemabia Tahir was appointed the PTI president for north Punjab.<\/p>\n

Expressing gratitude for the appointment, she said: \u201cWith the help of Allah and the cooperation of the organisational leaders, I will try my best to fulfil the responsibility entrusted to me by the leaders and fulfil their trust.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
