Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairperson Imran Khan has reportedly been given a list of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa ministers and MPAs who were missing from the party's long march last week, and he is likely to take disciplinary action against them.
According to anchorperson Kamran Shahid, a list of KP ministers who stayed away from or fled the PTI's 'Azaadi March' on May 25 has supposedly been handed over to Imran Khan. Shahid, who tweeted about this, said that Khan is going to take disciplinary action against the ministers on the list.

The list of more than 14 ministers includes Shoukat Yousafzai, Kamran Bangash, Humayun Khan, Ibrahim Khattak, and Wazir Zada, among others.
Kamran Shahid also claimed that by not being present at the PTI long march, these ministers ultimately betrayed Khan's regime change narrative.
So far, there are no other official reports of Khan being given a list of names of ministers absent from the long march.
Previously, Geo TV journalist Shahzeb Khanzada revealed on his show that the party chief was unhappy with the low numbers that showed up at the PTI’s planned sit-in on May 25, as he had expected large masses of people to show up, as they had done at the time of his ouster and during his other rallies.
He blamed party leaders for not bringing in the numbers, and was particularly vexed at the low mobilization from Punjab, where the party holds 83 and 158 seats in the National and Provincial Assemblies respectively.
The PTI leaders however, argued that they were not given enough time to prepare, saying that previously Khan had been stating the date of the long-march could fall any day between May 25 and 29, and fixing the earliest possible date was unwise as it did not afford time for logistical preparations regarding to food and housing.
The leaders were also displeased with the 6-day ultimatum Khan issued the government, questioning if worker turnout was low before, how would it be any different in six days?
