LAHORE: The Jahangir Khan Tareen group has gained strength and its aggressive narrative to seek ‘justice’ for the estranged Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) leader has brought the party’s federal as well as Punjab governments to their knees as both have invited the group for negotiations.
The Tareen group, which has swelled to over three dozen members from both the National and Punjab assemblies, posed a clear threat to the PTI governments in the province as well as at the Centre after it announced parliamentary leaders for both houses. The group had also threatened to boycott the budget sessions jeopardising the overall legitimacy of both the PTI governments.
