ISLAMABAD: Former Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi Wednesday has said that government is distributing treason certificates and it does not matter what ministers say, Prime Minister Imran Khan is behind treason cases.

Talking to media person, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senior leader Shahid Khaqan Abbasi challenged government minister to come and arrest the ‘traitors’. “I wanted to know who distributes certificate of patriotism so that I can apply for one”, he asked.

“How will you fight for the Kashmir cause by declaring two former premiers, a former defence minister and three retired lieutenant generals traitors?”

He also advised the government to focus on solving the problems being faced by the people instead of distributing certificates of patriotism and treason. “That is why the PDM has been formed.”

He also lashed out at Prime Minister Imran Khan and said “He did not know that sugar was being sold at Rs 110 per kg, he did not know that unemployment was on the rise, the Prime Minister was not even aware that CPEC has been closed.”

Shahid Khaqan said that a case has been registered against the Prime Minister of Azad Kashmir and those who serve the country including two former prime minister of Pakistan have become traitors today.

Traitors are the ones who stopped work on CPEC and increased problems for masses, he said.

The PML-N leader said that no one talks about public problems and the prime minister is always thinking about arresting opposition leaders. He also asked that will treason cases reduce problems being faced by public.
