He was talking to media persons after the group meeting in Lahore on Thursday.

Nawani asserted that Tareen group’s member Ajmal Cheema’s petrol pump had been shut down and transport services stopped.

However, he clarified that he was not blaming the government for being involved in it, adding that someone in the government might be doing such activities due to his personal grudge with Ajmal Cheema.

He rejected media reports that Saeed Akbar Khan Nawani was being nominated for Punjab chief minister slot, saying he had never been aspirant for the CM office.

He maintained that they could not be pressurized and they would continue to stand by their stance, adding that they would not compromise on their principles.

He further said that his group members had not been telephoned and threatened by anyone.

He clarified that Syed Samsam Bhkhari and Sardar Asif Nakai had never been part of Tareen group.

Saeed Akbar Khan Nawani said that the group had collectively decided not to attend the meeting called by the prime minister.
