KARACHI: Hours before the Election Commission of Pakistan’s verdict in the Toshakhana reference against PTI Chairman Imran Khan, PML-N leader Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said that they do not want to see anyone disqualified from politics.
“We do not want to see anyone disqualified. Competition in politics should be on the ground,” said the former prime minister while talking to the media in Karachi.
The PML-N leader was in the port city to appear before an accountability court in the reference filed against him by the National Accountability Bureau on the illegal appointment of the former managing director of Pakistan State Oil. The court has adjourned the hearing till November 25 without any proceedings today.
In an apparent reference to Imran Khan’s statement who said that backchannel is open, the former prime minister said that backdoor talks have always led to failures.
