He was further quoted as saying that both the leader hold significance in the party and likely their opinions are also of great importance.

Responding to Qureshi, Tareen had tweeted: “There’s only one man in my life whom I consider my leader & to whom I’m answerable. His name is Imran Khan. I’ve stood by his side through thick and thin and will continue to do so till my last breath, IA. What others may say for their own strange reasons does not concern me.”
