LAHORE: Former Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) lawmaker Aleem Khan dismissed reports of forming or joining new political party. In statement, Aleem said that he has good relations with Jahangir Tareen and Chaudhry Sarwar but right now he is only focused on his welfare project and had no plans to join any party.

“There is no truth in reports of my inclusion in new political party as right now I am only focused on welfare work,” he said in statement. Clarification from former PTI comes day after it was reported that some PTI dissidents, led by Jahangir Tareen and himself were weighing options to either join PPP or form new political party.

At least 25 PTI MPAs including Aleem Khan had been disqualified in line with court order after they violated party line last year and voted for PML-N Chief Minister candidate Hamza Shehbaz.
