The patron-in-chief for the Istekham-i-Pakistan Party (IPP), Jahangir Khan Tareen has launched the election campaign. Tareen, during the launch, has promised to address the issues faced by voters.
While addressing the workers’ convention in Multan, the IPP leader has extended his desire to drive the nation towards the prosperity.
During the address, he mentioned that his party was contesting the elections from several constituencies apart from the seat adjustment with the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz.
He also focused upon his connection with Multan, likening it to his hometown, Lodhran. He has further committed to prioritise the problems of the city and promised new era of development and prosperity in his constituency.
The IPP leader has also promised for eliminating the sense of deprivation felt by the people of South Punjab and raised his voice in the eventual formation of the south Punjab province.
He concluded that no one should have a media trial and acknowledged that while problems exist in every part of the nation, inflation and poor economy are the biggest issues.
While mentioning that elections will be held on time, Tareen reassured that, “after winning, my first priority will be on fixing the economy and controlling the inflation rate.”
The IPP leader has received support from the former local lawmakers Aamir Saeed Ansari, Zahiruddin Alizai, Deputy Mayor Haji Saeed Ahmad Ansari, and other political leaders, including Aamir Manzoor Ansari, Akhtar Alam Qureshi and Qazi Naeem Islam.
It is to be mentioned that, Tareen is among one of the candidates announced by the IPP on over 50 National and Punjab Assembly seats.
For its first election, the party has entered into an agreement with the PML-N, which has left seven NA and 11 Punjab Assembly seats vacant for the top IPP leaders. Whereas, on the Lodhran seat, PML-N has awarded the ticket to Saddique Baloch against Tareen.
The IPP’s president, Aleem Khan, has got tickets from NA-117 and PP-149 in Lahore. The ticket for NA-54 (Taxila-Rawalpindi) has been awarded to Ghulam Sarwar Khan. Both are a part of the seat adjustment agreement with PML-N.
