PML-N leader Abbasi pessimistic about govt-PTI talks on elections date
ISLAMABAD: Former prime minister and a senior leader of PML-N Shahid Khaqan Abbasi expressed his pessimism about the ongoing talks between the government and the PTI leaders on elections schedule.
Talking to media, Abbasi said that in the past, the government held negotiations with the PTI twice and both times PTI demonstrated ‘bad intentions’.
Former Premier Abbasi also accused National Accountability Bureau (NAB) for making fabricated political cases against people.
He suggested that the courts should install camera to show live streaming of hearing of case so that the people could understand the nature of so-called corruption cases in the NAB.
Talking about the LNG reference against him, former PM said, “13 people have been wandering around the courts for last three years.”
“NAB chairman has been changed but I would suggest reading the law,” he added.
Abbasi urged the courts to take suo-motu notice on the drama of NAB as people have been languishing in jails for 15 years under fake cases.
Shahid Khaqan Abbasi also said that the ECP should make preparations for elections regardless any other party is ready or not.
“The party which wants to participate will take it,” Abbasi added.
He said conducting elections is not the job of PML-N and it was the responsibility of the Election Commission of Pakistan.
Shahid Khaqan Abbasi is giving his candid opinion about the ongoing political crisis in the country and a way to end it. He says the ECP should complete its preparations for elections whether or not any party is ready for polls.
