Islamabad: The chief election commissioner of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s intra-party elections, retired Justice Wajihuddin Ahmed says General Secretary Jahangir Tareen should be stripped of his the basic party membership.
Speaking to reporters alongside PTI leader Hamid Khan after meeting Khan at his Bani Gala residence on Friday, Justice (retd) Wajihuddin said that matters relating to PTI’s intra-party elections were discussed with the PTI chairman.
He said that he has conveyed to Khan that he still stands by his report on the intra-party polls.
