On April 22, Estranged Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Jahangir Tareen said his meeting with Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan will be held soon.

Talking to the media after appearing before the session court in the sugar scam case, Tareen said he has a long-standing relationship with PM Imran Khan which is not weak.

The PTI leader went on to say that baseless FIRs have been lodged against him, and a civil case has been turned into a criminal case. He stressed that he will get justice from the court as Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government had also sent him tax notices but no allegation was proven.
