ISLAMABAD: Former prime minister and PMLN Senior Vice President (SVP) Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has resigned from the party office and decided to continue to work for country’s wellbeing through the forum of Reimgining Pakistan.

In a brief chat with The News here at the Parliament House Tuesday evening, he brushed aside the impression that he had been working for the second extension of former army chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa (retd).

Abbasi disclosed that when he visited London, he told PML-N Quaid Nawaz Sharif that if the government was forced to accord extension to Bajwa, it would be better to quit the government rather than giving in to pressure. He also rejected the impression that he lobbied for making any general the army chief.

Abbasi said he had made it clear to Nawaz Sharif about three years back that it would not be possible for him to continue with Maryam Nawaz if she was elevated to party’s top office.

To a query, he said he had not talked to Maryam Nawaz ever since her return from London. “I am happy that her surgery has been successful.

Abbasi recalled that he stepped down from the party office in an hour of the announcement of Maryam Nawaz appointment as Senior Vice President. My earnest prayers are for her,” he said. He made it clear that he had never been party’s chief organiser at any point in time. He maintained that he would continue to stay with the PML-N until death but returning home would be his next step if party parts ways with him.
