Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) leader Fayaz ul Hassan Chohan has confirmed the meeting of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Shehbaz Sharif and estranged PTI leader Jahangir Khan Tareen, Geo News reported on Monday.
According to the report, Chohan said that Tareen has fulfilled his duties as PTI’s general secretary very well.
However, he revealed that Tareen has met with Shehbaz, who is also the leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly, at former MNA Makhdoom Ahmed Mehmood’s residence.
Chohan also advised Tareen to never trust the Sharif family.
“Jahangir Tareen can never get good from the Sharif family,” he said.
Shehbaz is a person who doesn’t have decisive power. Similarly, Chaudhry Nisar is also unable to decide, he added.
Tareen group will always support PTI:
Meanwhile, Jahangir Tareen group’s spokesperson Saeed Akbar Nawani claimed that the Tareen faction has always stood in support of the PTI and will continue to do so in future too.
Speaking during a TV programme, he said that the Tareen group has always been a part of the PTI and has supported the party’s decisions.
He further said that the Opposition will fail to bring the no-confidence motion to oust the incumbent government. “Our group will support the PTI-led government against the motion like it always has.”
Earlier, without confirming or denying his meeting with Shehbaz, Tareen had said that his group of estranged ruling party MNAs and MPAs had given him the mandate to make any political decision.
He had said that being a politician, he believes in interaction with other politicians. “Such contacts are part of politics,” he had added.
He had further said that everybody is upset over the economic condition of the country and growing price hike.
