ISLAMABAD
Former prime minister and senior PML-N leader Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Friday said they are not interested in filing a treason case against PTI Chairman Imran Khan.
His statement came a day after a special committee meeting of the cabinet had deliberated over filing treason cases against Imran Khan and other PTI leaders in connection with the violence and hate speeches made by them during the “Azadi March”.
Speaking on Geo News programme Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada Kay Saath, Khaqan Abbasi said they do not want to get engaged in the game of labelling political rivals as traitors.
The PML-N leader said, “I haven’t heard about the treason case, however, everyone knows that President Arif Alvi, Imran Khan and his other companions have violated the constitution.”
“Every leader of the Opposition was arrested in fake cases during the Imran Khan’s government, but we don’t want to get entangled in such a game of filing treason cases against political rivals as we have a bigger challenge to stabilise the country’s economy,” he added.
