Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has submitted a resolution in the Punjab Assembly against the PML-N leader and former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi.

The party wants a treason case to be registered against Abbasi for what it says was a statement against the army.

The former PM had claimed that the army is still interfering in politics from behind the scenes.

“The media is controlled and even the courts are complaining,” Mr Abbasi told SAMAA TV in an exclusive interview aired on Saturday, Sept 22.

Abbasi’s statement gave the Indian media opportunity to malign the Pakistan Army, the resolution said.

The resolution also calls for barring Abbasi from holding public office for life.
