PML-N won’t object to Bahawalpur province: Khaqan

LIAQUATPUR: Former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Sunday said that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz have no objection over the proposed Bahawalpur province.
Talking to media at Liaquatpur in Rahim Yar Khan district, Abbasi said that the PML-N has already submitted a resolution on the Bahawalpur province in the assembly.
The government did nothing during its rule and only tormenting the people, the PML-N central leader said.
The government of Nawaz Sharif addressed the power crisis and ended the load shedding, Shahid Khaqan said.
Incumbent government of PTI only restricted to slogans and political victimization, he claimed.
Abbasi in a media talk earlier alleged that the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) is being used for political engineering.
Abbasi who appeared before the accountability court Islamabad in hearing of the LNG reference, while talking to media said that the NAB uses only one method and that is to malign the people.
The former prime minister claimed that the accountability watchdog has paralyzed the country and destroyed its economy. He demanded for dissolution of the NAB.
He demanded formation of a parliamentary committee on price hike and dearness in the country.
The Islamabad High Court (IHC) had granted bail to Abbasi in Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) reference on February 25.
Shahid Khaqan Abbasi had replaced Nawaz Sharif in the previous PML-N government as prime minister after the Supreme Court had disqualified Nawaz Sharif on July 28, 2017 in Panama Papers judgement.
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Rana Tanveer has claimed that PML-N is in contact with several members of PML-Q and PTI.
Chairman Public Accounts Committee Rana Tanveer expressed these views in a special conversation with media. He claimed that MPAs of PML-N who met CM Punjab were already in contact with Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf and they also met Imran Khan in Bani Gala. He added that a member who met Usman Buzdar has written a letter of loyalty to Nawaz Sharif.
He also criticized government and said that government has no economic policy and claimed that MQM is about to launch protest against government. Answering a question, he said that political parties remain in contact and claimed that members of PTI and its allies including PML-Q are in contact with PML-N.–Agencies
