Lahore (HRNW) A group of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) lawmakers led by Abdul Aleem Khan, a former Punjab minister, has joined the group of PTI estranged leader Jahangir Khan Tareen, commonly known as JKT.
The decision was announced during a presser after the lawmakers from both groups met at Tareen’s Lahore residence on Monday.
This is a major blow for the PTI government as the opposition is vying to gain numbers to make another no-trust move attempt against Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan successful.
Aleem regretted that Tareen was completely ignored after PTI won the elections [in 2018] while praising the efforts he had put into the party. He stated that all estranged members of the party have amalgamated now under Tareen’s leadership.
He expressed concerns about the way the government is being run in Punjab, the most populated province. He claimed that more than 40 MPAs of Punjab, with whom he had met, expressed similar concerns.
Aleem said his pain is not personal and clarified that he doesn’t want to become the chief minister.
PTI leader said they had not felt bad about getting ignored if the party had met the expectations of the people.
