KARACHI: Former prime minister and PMLN central leader Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Saturday said that the by-election in the NA-249 constituency in Karachi has become even more controversial than recently-held Daska by-poll.
“It is not the place for (PPP supremo) Bilawal Bhutto Zardari to talk about the NA-249 by-poll. He should talk according to his political height,” said Abbasi, while addressing a press conference at the Muslim League House in Karachi. Former governor Sindh Mohammad Zubair also accompanied him. Abbasi questioned how did those who were not even fourth in NA-249 won. “We know what the intentions of the PPP are,” he said. “Respect the votes. The people are disappointed that the vote was given to someone else and the victory went to someone else,” he said.
Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said that the doors of PDM are open for everyone. “But what will happen next if we break the trust of PDM for a small chair.”
