Estranged Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Jahangir Khan Tareen is reportedly taking mulling over to join the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), it has been learnt on Friday Jahangir Khan Tareen (JKT) is expected to formally join the PML-N within a week as the MPAs of the JKT group, who voted in favour of Hamza Shehbaz for his election as Punjab Chief Minister, are also considering to join the PML-N. Salman Naeem, a member of provincial assembly from Multan, is also likely to join the party.
However, Media Adviser to Jahangir Khan Tareen on Southern Punjab Ghazanfar Rehan stated that there was no truth to the news of Tareen joining the PML-N.
It was worth mentioned here that that disgruntled leader of ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Jahangir Khan Tareen had stated earlier that his ‘plane’ could take off in any direction even towards the PML-N camp and that his long-standing ties with Nawaz Sharif’s party will continue like before.
Tareen, once considered one of the closest confidantes of ex-Prime Minister Imran Khan, made the remarks when asked by a reporter about the possibility of joining the PML-N ranks. Soon after, PML-N leader Ayaz Sadiq, who was also attending the gathering, told the media that he should ask Tareen why he kept smiling to the question of joining the PML-N. In May last year, Tareen formed a group of like-minded lawmakers in the National Assembly as well as the Punjab Assembly at a dinner he hosted for his supporters.
