Expelled Workers Party leaders to hold congress soon

"The move by the politburo and central committee leaders to oust five of us is not consistent with the party constitution as the WPB leadership have deviated from the party's ideology," said Saiful Haq, an ousted leader, at a press conference in the city yesterday.

"We will be forced to take legal action if the depraved leadership keep making efforts to tarnish our political image, instead of dealing with an organisational feud politically," he said while reading out a written statement.
