Estranged Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Jahangir Tareen said on Monday that Prime Minister Imran Khan has assured his allies of "monitoring my matter personally". "PM met my allies and the meeting concluded on a positive note. The allies conveyed their concerns to the premier at length, who assured that he will see the matter personally." Tareen's remarks came as he spoke to the media following his appearance before the court in the money laundering case in Lahore today. "Premier assured that justice will be meted out," the PTI leader said and hoped that Ali Zafar, the party's counsel and a mediator in the case, will oversee the matter well and convey it to the prime minister. Tareen made it clear that he wasn't afraid of an investigation [in his case], saying he's not running away from the cases but is facing the courts.

"We never asked for the case to be abolished. We want a complete probe into the matter and for masses to see us emerge successfully." The PTI leader reiterated that his case wasn't a criminal case. "It is a business-related case related to SECP. It doesn't involve use of the exchequer, and so everyone knows that there are other reasons behind it." Tareen added that he wasn't in contact with Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) or the Pakistan People's Party (PPP). "I enjoy the support of many people from the PTI." Earlier, the court directed the authorities to complete the probe expeditiously and extended Jahangir and Ali Tareen's bails by May 19. Prior to the hearing, allies met at Tareen's home wherein they expressed solidarity with the PTI leader and assured him of complete support.
