ISLAMABAD:
Ice is apparently broken between Prime Minister Imran Khan and PTI leader Jahangir Tareen as the latter has cancelled an iftar-dinner to be hosted for dozens of disgruntled PTI lawmakers on Wednesday after receiving an assurance that the prime minister is ready to hear his grievances.
“We have been assured that the premier is ready to meet us. However, [I want to make it clear that] we will only meet the prime minister and not a governmental committee,” Tareen told the Express Tribune.
