Tareen made rebel group to avoid accountability: PTI leader

Sahibzada Jahangir, the spokesperson for Prime Minister Imran Khan on Trade and Investment in the UK, has claimed that PTI leader Jahangir Tareen launched a rebel group when he was asked to explain his income from the sugar industry, The News reported on Friday.

Speaking at an event organised by PTI UK leader Aneel Musarrat in London for Punjab Governor Chaudhary Sarwar, the spokesperson said that thieves and dacoits rebel when the PM tries to hold them accountable. “Thieves get bails from courts and return to live their normal lives.”

He said that Tareen launched a rebel group within the PTI and threatened to bring down the government because he did not want to be held accountable.

“Jahangir Khan Tareen was asked to approach the court in his sugar mills case and prove innocence but he didn’t do so. Instead, Jahangir Tareen formed a rebel group of 40 people,” he said.

“Looters are getting bails from the courts and are living in luxury. Edgware Road and Park Lane are full of Pakistani rulers. Dacoits and plunderers live there. Nawaz Sharif, Yousaf Raza Gilani, and Asif Zardari are all living there. When Imran khan tries to do something, then there is a rebellion, there’s a clamour for revolt,” he said.

“Our ship is surrounded by a storm and it’s spinning but it’s our responsibility to save the ship. Our ministers and advisers took up flags and positions of the PTI, it’s their job to go out to their constituencies and explain the situation.”

He also urged the PM to reject loans from the IMF and Saudi Arabia.
