NAB and Pakistan cannot go together, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi

Karachi Nov 07 (Online): Former Prime Minister (PM) Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said that NAB and Pakistan cannot go together.
NAB is wasting time and destroying people’s lives.

The only purpose of NAB is to hold politicians accountable.

While talking to media on occasion of NAB court appearance in Karachi, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said that Caretaker government should decide what to do with NAB institution.

He said that the cases that have been made against us should be prosecuted. Time will tell how long this case will last. I don’t know the nature of the case and what is our crime. What kind of accountability is this? What kind of justice is it? Many judges retired from these courts and went home. If we do not abolish this institution then the country will not function.

Former Prime Minister (PM) said that Asif Zardari and Nawaz Sharif are political leaders. It is good to have meetings between politicians. All the stakeholders in country’s politics will have to sit down and determine the way forward. I have been in politics for 35 years. I will do politics. I am not convinced of the election in these circumstances.

He said that today the solution of the country’s problem is not with any single party. Only unity can solve the problems. PTI remained in power. It did not sit in opposition but it was big party. PTI has role in politics. I had resigned from party post. I am not involved in any consultation. I pray that elections will be fair and transparent.

Shahid Khaqan Abbasi further said that my personal relationship with Nawaz Sharif, the relationship of respect will remain. I had meeting in Qatar 10 days before Nawaz Sharif came to country. If he calls me then I will go. I have been with the party in every good and bad time. Election theft has a big hand in the current state of the country. If you don’t learn a lesson even today, you will get into trouble in the future.
