Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) disqualified secretary general Jahangir Tareen has decided to step down from the party post.
According to party sources, following the Supreme Court disqualification as member of the Parliament, Tareen has decided to step down.
The apex court earlier today disqualified Tareen but ruled in favour of PTI chairman Imran Khan in its judgment on the disqualification case against the two party leaders. The PTI secretary general had pleaded guilty to insider trading.
Sources said Tareen decided to step down from the party post during his meetings with PTI members. Asad Umar remains a strong contender to replace Tareen.
