In a bid to take advantage of the mass exodus of leaders from the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), seasoned politician Jahangir Khan Tareen (JKT) — once Imran Khan’s closest aide — is likely to announce his new party, mostly comprising the former ruling party’s defectors, during the next 72 hours, well-placed sources said.
The development came during a luncheon hosted in honour of JKT and his aides at the residence of former PTI leader Aleem Khan. JKT, accompanied by “important political personalities” is likely to announce the launch of a new political party, the sources added.
