Khaqan rules out deal possibility with govt

Islamabad: Like PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, who rejected the notion of any political bargain, former Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, too, has ruled out the possibility of any deal for a way into the power corridors, saying the PML-N seeks neither a power share nor is after certain interests. “I do not believe that Nawaz Sharif or the N-League will be a part of any deal,” said the PML-N leader while speaking in local private TV channel’s program on Monday.
“We do not want a share in power nor do we seek interests. We can have negotiations while staying within the purview of the Constitution. We have nothing to give. What can we give to anyone?”
On December 25, in one of his tweets, Federal Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry had alleged that the PML-N awaits a deal for Nawaz Sharif to return to Pakistan. Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said the PML-N demanded immediate and transparent elections as the 2018 general elections were stolen.
He said when the crutches are taken back, the government will not survive a single day. Commenting on the concept of deals, Abbasi said they have always hurt Pakistan.
The PML-N leader said that the government members who are in touch with the N-League are afraid of telephone calls. They will appear after they seize receiving the telephone calls as they know they have no political future with the ruling PTI, he remarked.
