LAHORE: Special Assistant to the Punjab Chief Minister on Political Affairs Aun Chaudhry has tendered his resignation today (Friday) after being asked to dissociate himself from the PTI’s estranged faction – the Jahangir Tareen group.
According to details, Aun Chaudhry was asked to distance himself from the estranged PTI leader and his group, which he refused, instead turning in a prepared resignation letter that he had brought with him.
Chaudhry shared the letter with the media during prayer break and said he knew why he was called to meet Chief Minister Usman Buzdar. “I had served the party ignoring my family and this is how my services are being rewarded,” Aun lamented.
“I was sadly removed from the office for refusing to break ties from the Tareen group.” He further said he was made the special assistant to the Punjab chief minister without any department and was being removed without any reason.
“Everyone knows about Jahangir Tareen’s struggle for the party without which the PTI would not have come in power after the 2018 general elections,” Aun further saod.
He added that he had been relieved from responsibilities and was now resigning from his post but he would not leave the Tareen group.
Meanwhile, Raja Riaz, a key leader of the Jahangir Tareen group, reacted strongly to the developing situation. “If you ask us to resign, we will give it, but we will not leave Jahangir Tareen,” Riaz said.
