ISLAMABAD: PTI MNA of Jahangir Tareen Humkhayal Group (JTHG) Raja Riaz Ahmad Wednesday accused Prime Minister’s Accountability Adviser Shahzad Akbar of targeting the members of the ruling as well as other parties, saying he had failed to perform. Speaking in the Geo News programme Capital Talk, Riaz said the JTHG had its parliamentary leader in the Punjab Assembly, and warned that a parliamentary leader could also be made in the National Assembly if excesses were committed at the federal level.
He said they had their group in the National Assembly also, but not a parliamentary leader as the assurances given by Prime Minister Imran Khan were being realised at the federal level. Barrister Ali Zafar was having long meetings with the group members and patiently listening to them, Riaz added.

Rashid and Buzdar met Thursday. Rashid said that ups and downs in politics are routine and the government has nothing to fear. He said that the Tareen group will support PTI in the upcoming budget. Buzdar said that they are running Punjab government like a team, and those trying to create conflict should look inwards first.
