National April 13, 2021 ISLAMABAD: Members of the national and Punjab assemblies belonging to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) who have openly sided with estranged party leader Jahangir Tareen mainly demand the closure of criminal cases against him -- something Prime Minister Imran Khan is strongly averse to doing. In this tense stand-off, when the party is confronted with a mounting threat from Jahangir Khan Tareen, where are the PTI’s main trouble-shooters? If the ruling party has anyone who has the clout and the ability to eliminate trouble in its ranks, they have preferred not to swing into action to put a halt to the growing number of open sympathisers of Tareen or dissuade them from opting for the path of rebellion. The rebels in PTI ranks are members of the National and Punjab assemblies, including some provincial ministers. It seems like none of the potential trouble-shooters can become an honest broker without a nod from their boss.
