Daily Times May 20, 2021 Estranged PTI leader Jahangir Tareen Wednesday said that his supporters decided to form a separate group after the Punjab government initiated ‘revenge actions’ against his supporters. Speaking to reporters outside a court, Tareen, however, dispelled reports of a split in the ruling party. “We were part of the PTI, we are part of the PTI and we will continue to remain part of the PTI,” he said, admitting that the group he was part of had existed within the party for the past three months. Jahangir Tareen alleged that the Punjab government had been exacting revenge from the members of the group, using different pressure tactics such as transfers. “We have decided to raise voice against it in the Punjab Assembly and have nominated Sardar Saeed Akbar Khan Niwani to lead this discussion in the assembly as our representative,” he added.
