Former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Thursday said that while general elections were a “constitutional necessity”, it was incumbent upon the political leadership to make them “meaningful”.
Former PML-N leader Shahid Khaqan Abbasi criticizes the current political leadership and electoral process, terming the upcoming elections “useless.” He emphasizes the need for political, military, and judicial leadership to come together to ensure non-controversial elections. Abbasi alleges misuse of institutions like NAB and ACE in distorting polls. He denies forming a new party and states his decision on political future will be made after the February 8 polls. Abbasi calls for legal action against perpetrators of violence on May 9, emphasizing the importance of evidence and due process.
