Shafaqna Pakistan: There was a time when Jehanir Khan Tareen was considered as indispensable for the PTI or rather say Jehangir Tareen was the king maker who won all the love from Imran Khan for his political bickering and bring PTI in Punjab’s rule. His decisions were once considered as the last word in PTI and bureaucracy. 

However the time change and same Jehangir Tareen became the most unwanted person for Imran Khan. Perhaps principal secretary of Imran Khan, Azam Khan was the reason who created a gulf of difference between both the close allies. It is worth mentioning that it was Jehanir Tareen who lifted Azam Khan to the top slot yet Azam Khan played his own cards and pushed Jehangir aside because he feared the power of Tareen.

It is also said the Qureshi group also played a key role in pushing Jehangir at bay by filling Khan’s ear with wrong information that Tareen is looking for his replacement. As a result the furious Khan easily sidelined Jehangir Tareen and not only side lined but also a commission was constituted to probe Sugar Scandal and Tareen was declared as prime culprit by the commission. This was a clear message to Tareen and he silently bid goodbye to party.

Now once again the statements of  Imran Khan and Tareen show that ice has melt and both are ready to bridge their difference but question is that what has forced both the join hands again?

The opposition parties has finally decided to launch a campaign against Usman Buzdar and this time they are serious while they have also tacit support of Ch. Brothers who are handling no of MPs in Punjab. Now if Usman Buzdar is dislodged who will be the next CM Punajb? Definitely this time Ch. Brothers will play their role to install their own men on CM office. In order to break their monopoly Imran Khan will be in need of independent candidates and Tareen holds a considerable influence on No of MPs in Punjab.

Thus Jehangir Khan Tareen can play a pivotal role in helping out Imran Khan in this crisis however what he needs in return? Infact Jehangir Tareen is looking to restore his lost reputation and gain Imran Khan’s confidence again. If he succeeds in installing a trusted man of Imran Khan in CM office, he will once again become No 2 in PTI. Thus by coming back to party he can give tough time to all those conspirators who played a role in his ouster. Thus this would be the marriage of convenience on both sides.
