LAHORE- A number of PTI defectors attended a significant political event on Wednesday that was held in the province capital by business mogul and former PTI leader Jahangir Khan Tareen, who is preparing to create a new party.
Fawad Chaudhry, Amir Kiyani, Ali Zaidi, Imran Ismail, Mahmood Maulvi, Firdous Ashiq Awan, Ajmal Wazir, Nauraiz Shakoor, and Fayyazul Hasan Chohan—all former PTI leaders—visited the location and met with JKT. Abdul Aleem Khan was furthermore present.
The name of Jahangir Tareen’s new political party was introduced on Wednesday, according to sources, as the unhappy PTI leader gained political momentum as a result of the major party defections.
The “Pakistan Istehkam Party” (PIP), according to sources, would be the name of his party. Tomorrow, Tareen would formally reveal the name of his party.
PTI leader Dr. Shahbaz Gill posted images of former PTI officials when he was visiting the US.
Sajjad Bokhari, Tasneem Gardezi, and Jahanzeb Warren, three former PTI leaders from the south, confirmed their affiliation with the JKT faction on Wednesday.
Murad Raas, a PTI defector, had joined Mr. Tareen’s faction, giving the politician an apparent huge triumph. In the company of Abdul Aleem Khan and Awn Chaudhry, Mr. Raas visited Mr. Tareen. Along with other lawmakers, like Hashim Dogar and others, Mr. Rass had said goodbye to the PTI.
A day earlier, Raja Yawar Kamal, Mamoon Tarar, and Rai Aslam—three members of the PTI’s “Hashim Dogar group”—joined Mr. Tareen’s political team.
As he prepares to start a new political party, Mr. Tareen organised a three-person committee including Awn Chaudhry, Sardar Tanvir Ilyas, and Ishaq Khakwani to recruit defectors.
The group resolved to get in touch with influential KP members, such as former party leader Parvez Khattak. Fawad Chaudhry, a former senior vice president of the PTI, and Firdous Ashiq Awan had previously met with Mr. Tareen.
