After the dinner, Zawar Warraich and Nauman Langrial spoke to the media where they said Jahangir Tareen is an asset and no injustice whatsoever must be done to him.

It was asserted in the dinner that a letter would be written to the Prime Minister asking him for a meeting and his special attention to this case. 

“Whatever is happening with Tareen is really unjust and we all have gathered here in a show of solidarity,” Waraich said.

He said that there were more than 80 sugar mill owners but cases are “only targetting Jahangir Tareen”.

“We demand a probe against all of them,” Waraich added.

Earlier in the day, PTI leaders Firdous Ashiq Awan and Shehzad Akbar played down the warnings of Jahangir Tareen and said that a probe was underway against all sugar barons in the country. 

“Our doors are always open for Jahangir Tareen and he is in no way being victimized,” said Akbar.
