Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan on Sunday held a detailed meeting with Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pervez Khattak at his residence in Banigala to discuss the party's internal matters and grievances of a dissident group. A senior official of the party told Business Recorder that Khattak had plainly refused to talk to the dissident groups, saying that all their allegations of nepotism and corruption in the provincial government are baseless.
A dissident group of the PTI that includes MNAs Dawar Khan Kundi, Amir Ullah Marwat, Khyal Zaman, Sajid Nawaz and Junaid Akbar and MPAs Yaseen Khalil, Qurban Ali Khan, Jamshid Khan, Babar Saleem, Shakeel Khan, Amjad Afridi and Abdul Ahad has threatened to launch a protest movement against Khattak if their grievances were not addressed.
Differences have surfaced in the PTI at a time when its chairman, Imran Khan, had announced the launch of a countrywide protest movement against the federal government on August 7.
The official, however, said that Imran Khan has tasked Jahangir Tareen, the party's secretary general, to contact the dissidents to resolve their issues.
"Imran Khan had asked the dissident members in a meeting to bring evidence of corruption and nepotism against Pervez Khattak instead of just hurling accusations, but they failed to do so," he said.
