NOWSHERA: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf chairman Imran Khan has asked Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to act against his party lawmaker Javid Latif for using indecent language against Murad Saeed of PTI.
`I will consider that PM Nawaz Sharif is standing behind MNA Javid Latif if he does not take any action against him,` he said while addressing a public meeting at Nowshera Kalan on Sunday, where he inaugurated Qazi Hussain Ahmad Medical Complex.
The PTI chairman said that he would expel any MNA of the party if they used foul language against anyone.
