Jahangir Tareen, as everyone knows, is the person who played a pivotal role in the struggle of PTI. Keeping in view his efforts for the success of PTI in the 2018 Election and the formation of the PTI government in the centre and Punjab, my morals do not allow me to abandon my association with the most loyal part of PTI who served as selflessly as I have,” the document stated.
