FAISALABAD/BHAKKAR (Dunya News) – PM Shahid Khaqan Abbasi slammed the PTI Chairman Imran Khan over his alleged anti-parliament remarks, daring his party to resign from the assemblies and dissolve them.
“No one in past has cursed the parliament,” he recalled, stating that the politics of his party head Nawaz Sharif is based on decency. PM Abbasi asked the people to decide whether they want to follow the message of love or that of curse.
