He also stated that all those running smear campaign againstAleem Khan were not Insafians.

`Rather, they are the Trojan horses, the fifth columnists in our midst and they are a greater danger to PTI than our external enemies and rivals,` he observed.

Mr Khan in his quite lengthy tweet stated that Aleem Khan belonged to a middle class family and graduated from Government College Lahore.

He went on to study Business Administration in Canada but discovered he had cancer so he returned to Lahore and underwent treatment at Shaukat Khanum Cancer Hospital, where he made a full recovery from stage-IV cancer.

Mr Khan stated that he went on to becoming a huge success in the cut-throat real estate business and as always tends to happen, success attracted jealousy and envy the same happened with Jehangir Tareen.
