Owing to this he could not give 100 percent time to election campaign, therefore, he considers himself ineligible for party ticket.He urged the party workers to support PTIs candidate either he is a young and energetic ideological worker or any veteran politician who had record of winning elections from Lodhran.I request you all to support whoever gets the party ticket and get him/her elected in the general elections.
Me and my father Jehangir Tareen will also be supporting the same candidate like we our self are contesting the polls.He was optimistic PTI will come in power after winning elections and their leader Imran Khan will be next prime minister.Ali Tareen contested by-elections from NA-154 Lodhran after his father Jehangir Tahreen was disqualified.
