February 1, 2023 04:22 PM


Former prime minister and PML-N leader Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has resigned from his position as party senior vice president, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

While talking to media on Wednesday, Abbasi confirmed that he has resigned from the party post. He, however, said that he is not quitting the PML-N but he would not keep the post. 

“I have tendered my resignation due to personal reasons. I do not want to discuss my differences on media,” Abbasi added.

He said that we should do something different from other parties to organize the PML-N. 

Abbasi said that PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif is yet to accept his resignation. 

Sources said the senior PML-N leadership has been tasked to woo back Abbasi. 

Spokesperson for Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz, Muhammad Zubair Umar also confirmed the resignation of Abbasi.

While talking to media, Zubair said that Abbasi should not quit the party position. He said he is a very seasoned politician and remained prime minister of the country. 

“Abbasi should review his decision as the party needs him,” Zubair said while praising Abbasi’s political acumen.
