Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader and MPA from Punjab Nazir Chohan said on Wednesday that after his outburst against fellow party leaders, Prime Minister Imran Khan first “chided” and then “forgave me”.
According to Geo News, the lawmaker said that he has apologised to the prime minister and told him that he was ashamed of his behaviour. He added that he also gave assurance to prime minister.
The lawmaker, who is considered to be a loyalist of PTI stalwart Jahangir Tareen, had earlier this month decided to part ways with the split faction of the party.
Addressing a media briefing in Lahore alongside Punjab Minister for Prisons Fayyazul Hassan Chohan, after a sessions court granted him bail, Nazir had said that he no longer has “any association with the Tareen group”.
“Jahangir Tareen used me for his case and then threw me away,” he said.
Nazir said that he was “never once called” by Tareen in his hour of need, whereas he went to court every time Tareen was summoned.
“I considered him my leader, but he is not fit to be called one,” Nazir said of Tareen.
Meanwhile, today, the lawmaker said he told the prime minister “many people” wish to leave the Tareen group and at least 11 “will soon announce their departure”.
He said he will set up a meeting of these 11 members with Chief Minister Punjab Usman Buzdar.
“The prime minister has asked me to get active for local body elections,” he added.
