Jahangir Khan Tareen, the patron-in-chief of Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party (IPP), on Monday declared his commitment to building a 'Naya Pakistan' -- a slogan first championed by his former leader PTI founder Imran Khan -- in the true sense.
Addressing a spirited corner meeting in PP-228, Tareen said that his politics is rooted in the fight against oppression and repression and promised that the party will earnestly follow its manifesto if entrusted with people's confidence.
Tareen promised a slew of development projects, including the provision of gas, construction of an underpass, establishment of a NADRA office, and initiatives for clean water supply.
The campaign gained momentum as Tareen, accompanied by IPP candidate Nazir Khan Baloch from PP-228, addressed corner meetings at various locations, engaging with local leaders and the community.
