As per sources, Tareen briefed the party members over what he called the ongoing ‘witch-hunt’ against him allegedly by Principal Secretary to Prime Minister Azam Khan and others.
According to the sources, the lawmakers assured Tareen of their full support against what they called the feudal and bureaucratic mindset hell bent to destroy the gains of PTI Chairman Imran Khan. They vowed to accompany Tareen to the court on Saturday.
Provincial Advisor Abdul Hai Dasti, Amir Mohammad Khan, Rafaaqat Gilani, Faisal Jabwana, Provincial Minister Malik Noman Langarial and Provincial Minister Ajmal Cheema also attended the dinner.

Tareen called on like-minded party leaders at his residence on Friday to work out a strategy. He consulted his political colleagues on the next legal course of action, and we will take the opinion leaders into confidence.
