(PTI) leader said that he has not met the Istihkam-e-Pakistain Party's (IPP) chief.

"I have had no meeting with Jahangir Tareen. At this time, I do not wish to speak on any political matters," the former defence minister told Geo News.

He added that Tareen's party had neither offered him the post of secretary general nor he accepted any such offer. "I am at my place and in touch with my colleagues in the province."

Earlier today, it was reported that Khattak is likely to be made secretary general of the newly-established IPP.

The development came two weeks after Khattak announced in a presser that he was stepping down from his position as president of the PTI's Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa chapter. However,

the PTI chief's aide had dismissed reports that he was quitting the former party and termed them "propaganda".
