LAHORE: PML-N senior leader Shahid Khaqan Abbasi shot back at Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry on Tuesday, saying the PTI-led government is “walking with crutches” and that four PML-N leaders are “hell-bent on ousting Nawaz Sharif from the party.”
“I don’t understand Fawad’s words because he’s just trying to get publicity,” Abbasi remarked.
“No one in the PML-N seeks the throne,” Abbasi remarked, adding that party officials “just want the Constitution to be implemented throughout the country.”
“I’ve never wanted to be Prime Minister,” Abbasi continued.
“The government itself is walking with crutches and can’t stand without them even for a single day,” the former premier stated.
“I know 22 members of the National Assembly who no longer want to be a part of the existing government,” Abbasi asserted, adding that the government would lose its majority in the House if those 22 people stepped down.
“We might not even need to present a no-confidence move against the administration in the NA if that happens,” he remarked.
In response to Abbasi’s remarks on the broadcast, Federal Minister for Science and Technology Shibli Faraz said, “We had simply hinted at four prominent figures of the PML-N, and now people may infer who we were referring to without taking any names.”
“The PML-N is an inefficient party with an incomplete narrative, and its leadership lacks democratic thoughts,” the minister stated.
He claimed that no one has objected to Prime Minister Imran Khan’s leadership and that the country is emerging from a terrible condition under his supervision.
