Jahangir tareen was a professor at punjab university lahore. he got married into an influencial family of south punjab. His brother in law Makhdoom ahmed mahmood, who was a minister back in 1988, was setting up a sugar mill in his native village of Jamal Din Wali (JDW). Makhdoom wanted to help his brother in law out, plus Tareen was also useful because of his managing skills, so he gave him a minority share in JDW sugar mill. Makhdoom Ahmed mahmood was very active politically and did not have time to look after the business so he gave Tareen a free hand, and control over the sugar mill.
Jahangir tareen started to become more popular in the social circle because of his brother in law, and after the 1997 elections he was introduced to shehbaz sharif who was cheif minister punjab, and was made his advisor on agriculture.
during the 2002 general elections, Makhdoom ahmed mahmood was district nazim Rahim Yar khan so he let Tareen contest from his home constituency seat and got tareen elected as MNA. Thats when tareen really started flying high. He became federal minister for industries under musharaf and has mentioned in the post above he expanded his sugar business.
Makhdoom ahmed mahmood, his mentor, who got him elected, started having problems with the musharaf regime, especially pervaiz elahi around 2005. He was politically victimised however Tareen did nothing to support him. Makhdoom resigned from PML Q and became Punjab President for PML (functional).
Jahangir Tareen however, was very close to musharaf and he did nothing for his mentor and brother in law. he was enjoying his ministry in islamabad while sitting in islamabad. however when things got bad for musharaf after the sacking of the cheif justice, tareen abandoned ship and joined PML F just before the next elections.
Because of Makhdoom Ahmed Mahmoods support Jahangir Tareen was elected MNA the second time, on PML F ticket. Makhdoom, who is also pir pagaras relative, got him made the parliamentry leader of the party in the national assembly.
Now currently, after the establishment approached him, he announced that he will be forming a new 'clean party' (while still in pml f), damaging all those people who had helped him become what he is today.
Furthuremore, recently, Makhdoom Ahmed Mahmood, found out that Tareen had stolen his shares worth 3bn rupees! and that now Jahangir tareen was the majority share holder. through clever planning, he had his freinds on the board of directors, he was planning to buy out makhdoom ahmed mahmood from the JDW company, which was started by Makhdoom himself! and was going to take over.
Ahmed Mahmood being an influential personality in that area took action and took over the mills by force and fired all the management. this happened 5 days ago! so basically Jahangir Tareen is finished. the person whom he depended on for his MNA seat his not with him anymore and his business isnt looking to good either after the take over by Ahmed Mahmood. he is not allowed to enter the Area of Jamal Din wali. And my personal opinion is that, until and unless the army takes over and gives tareen a position in the interem government or something, tareens political career is finished so is the future of his supposedly clean party.
therefore, the conclusion: Jahangir Tareen is a disloyal, greedy and ambitious person who will do anything for money and power. He has back stabbed every single person who has ever done anything for him. first shehbaz sharif, then musharaf, then his own brother in law who made him what he is today.
Also to my knowledge, jahangir tareen had major differences with his own father, and also the rest of him family over property disputes.
so this guy who is trying to portray himself as mr clean is not very clean after all. i hope the establishment realises that we need brave loyal people who are willing to die for our country. not greedy businessmen like jahangir tareen.
