After the decision of Supreme Court on Jahangir Khan Tareen's case, he has resigned from his party position. He has set a benchmark of moral values for others to follow. The Govt and PMLN has made a new amendment in the constitution that a person can hold a party position even being disqualified. That's how Nawaz Sharif is the president of PMLN. But Jahangir Khan Tareen has showed his high moral grounds, he did not make any use of that law and resigned from his party position just on the next day.
JKT is all clean , there’s no NAB reference against him. Unlike Nawaz Sharif , JKT is not criticising the judiciary. He never plundered or looted this Nation ! There is no comparison in the cases against Jehangir Khan Tareen and Nawaz Sharif.This is the change we all have been hearing about; Tareen never abused his power, neither criticized the judiciary....will others show some guts and do what Tareen did ? Well, we leave this question open to you....you be the judge !
Below is the reaction of public, leaders and journalists on the decision taken by Jahangir Khan Tareen:
@ImranKhanPTI ;
JKT you have shown unswerving commitment to the cause of Naya Pakistan & worked with utmost dedication for our cause. For me it doesn't matter whether you hold a position in PTI or are in Parliament, you will always remain right next to me as we build Naya Pakistan InshaAllah.

@khadijah_shah:
"Almost surreal that jktareen didn't hurl abuse and allegations of fraud and treachery on the judiciary. One gets used to bad politics" #pakistan

@mariamsmadness ;
JKT's resignation is proof that the party's core values really do exist, their stance is not just lip service. Even PTI's Secretary General turned out to be more professional & dignified than the Ex Prime Minister of Pakistan

@SamiAbrahim ;
JKT resigned from the Secretary General ship of PTI after Supreme Court declares him disqualified—-a great decision..Can Mariam Safder and her father Nawaz Sharif will learn some thing from this ????

@JahangirKTareen offering his resignation is the brightest example of an evolving democracy in Pak, PTI should be proud.

@IamHamzaAbbasi
#SupremeCourt Great precedent by @JahangirKTareen as he accepted court verdict, resigned, no court bashing or political point scoring on this matter. SC has declared him disqualified, that means HE IS DISQUALIFIED! No SAAZISH rants here!

Libido dilemma after JKT resignation: How to dodge and deflect questions regarding moral authority of disqualified Nawaz Sharif being party chairman.

@ajmalkwazir ;
@JahangirKTareen set high moral by resigning but difficult for others to follow though Nawaz Sharif formulated Law allows him to work

@fawadchaudhry ;
This is why #PTI stands so different from PAK status Quo Mafia @JahangirKTareen yet again proved he is a man of substance

@omar_quraishi ;
In resigning from his post as Secretary General of the PTI, Jahangir Tareen has shown far more character than Nawaz Sharif who got Parliament to even change the law so he wouldn't have to resign as party chief

@shafqat_mahmood ;
This is the difference between PTI and PMLN. Jahangir Tareen has very graciously stepped down from the office of the SG until the decision of his review petition. The party agrees and compliments him on this honourable step

@ThePreeminent ;
After the disqualification by the #SupremeCourt of Pakistan, Jahangir Tareen has set an excellent example of moral values by resigning from the post of General Secretary of #PTI

@drsaqlainsh ;
Jahangir Tareen has a higher moral standing than Nawaz Sharif. At least he is not appointed as a party president after disqualification.

JKT's resignation letter - the principled and graceful position to take. Difference between JKT/PTI and NS with his Noonie puppets! Proud of JKT and his principled resignation.

جہانگیر ترین نے یہ نہیں پوچھا مجھے کیوں نکالا اور اخلاقی بنیاد پر استعفی دے کر اعلی ظرف ہونے کا ثبوت دیا یقینا پوری ن لیگ میں شرم حیا اور غیرت دور دور تک بھی نہیں جو ایسی اخلاقی جرات کا مظاہرہ کرے

@Moeednj ;
JKT & PTI set a "standard" and "moment of eternal shame" for Sharif Family - who want to bend all rules, all laws and all conventions in order to control political power and rule 200 Million Pakistanis forever!

GREAT TRADITION: Mr Tareen has taken a respectable position. Nawaz/Dar must also do that. But my biggest wish is to a similar Real/Deep TALASHI of Asif Zardari and money trails of his overseas assets/millions/properties. When will that day dawn.

@MahmoodK69
Today @JahangirKTareen has set the bar high for politicians in all parties.
JKT critics and foes have been silenced by his expediency & grace with the resignation.
Proud, that he is a committed Insafian for realizing Naya Pakistan under IK.

@mrcruizy ;
Sad day but this made @JahangirKTareen a big man. This is not an easy feat to achieve to be loved and trusted by millions of people. Yet surrendering to the highest court order. You came out a bigger person. We will never forget and abandon u. God speed

@AhmerMurad ;
You have set the standard yet again! You have enabled all PTI supporters to hold their heads high. You stand apart from #CorruptionSharif. Thank you! All the best in review.

کشتی بھی نہیں بدلی دریا بھی نہیں بدلا
اور ڈوبنے والوں کا جزبہ بھی نہیں بدلا
ہے شوقِ سفر ایسا ایک مدت سے یاروں نے
منزل بھی نہیں پائی، رستہ بھی نہیں بدلا
بے سمت ہواؤں نے ہر لہر سے سازش کی
خوابوں کے جزیروں کا نقشہ بھی نہیں بدلا!
RESPECT Sir JKT
