ISLAMABAD: Refuting the claims of PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif about 2018 election defeat, the party’s senior leader Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said there is no fault to find with the PML-N for the defeat in the general elections.
Speaking on Geo News programme Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada Kay Sath on Monday, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said that the PML-N walked into the elections on the basis of its best five-year performance.
His remarks come a day after PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif had asserted that the party lost the previous general election as it did not have the “right strategy”. He held the party itself responsible for the election rout.
In an interview on Jirga with Saleem Safi on Sunday, Shehbaz had asserted that Nawaz Sharif would have been elected prime minister for a fourth time if PML-N leaders had made a unanimous strategy in the pre-2018 election period.
Talking to Shahzeb Khanzada, Abbasi proposed setting up a truth commission to dig into what happened in the 2018 elections and the harm it has caused the country.
