Former provincial president of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PT), Pervez Khattak, on Saturday denied reports of him joining the newly established political party of Jahangir Khan Tareen, Istehkam-e-Pakistan.

Dismissing reports of him meeting with Tareen, Khattak wrote, “I want to make it clear that I have no intention of affiliating with any other political party nor have I had any meetings with Jahangir Khan Tareen. The ongoing news circulating in the media about me is unfounded and completely false”.
