Ali Amin Gandapur Slams Shandana Gulzar as Internal PTI Rift Deepens

ISLAMABAD: Tensions within the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) escalated sharply after senior leader and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur issued a stern reprimand to fellow party leader Shandana Gulzar following a heated exchange in an internal party communication group.

According to reports from party messaging channels, Gandapur bluntly addressed Gulzar, telling her to mind her own business and refrain from provoking disputes across various party platforms. “Listen Madam! You start up in every group. Please mind your own work,” Gandapur stated, expressing strong displeasure over her repeated critiques regarding party strategy, operational management, and leadership directives.

The confrontation underscores growing internal friction and factionalism within PTI leadership at a critical juncture. Political observers note that emerging disputes among senior leaders—particularly concerning media policy, public protest strategies, and organizational decisions—threaten to undermine the opposition party’s cohesion while it faces ongoing political and legal pressures nationwide.

While PTI central leadership has refrained from issuing an official comment regarding the exchange, sources suggest that senior party figures may step in to mediate the dispute and enforce stricter internal communication protocols to prevent further public leaks and preserve organizational discipline.
