The now-estranged leader of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, announced the launch of a new political party, urging all political parties to refrain from labeling one another as corrupt. 

However, he did not reveal the details of his new political venture.

Discussing the prevailing political scenario, the former prime minister remarked that existing political parties are not addressing the nation's issues and he is creating a new political party due to a lack of effective  discourse aimed at resolving people's problems.

Abbas further observed that there was a notable absence of meaningful discussion on Pakistan's issues during the recent election campaign.

While addressing the media, Abbasi expressed concern that the February 8 elections have evolved into a highly controversial event, and when citizens lose confidence in the system, it can have a detrimental impact on the country’s stability.

He highlighted the present state of the election, stating that it has reached a point where even the victors are facing defeat. 

Abbasi underscored that the "sole remedy lies in bringing all stakeholders to the table for a grand dialogue". 

According to former PML-N stalwart, national progress hinges on collaborative efforts otherwise, there will be adverse consequences.

Shahid Khaqan Abbasi who served as Prime Minister of Pakistan after the ouster of PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif in 2017, stood as a prominent figure within the ranks of his former party. 

However, over the past few months, he openly voiced his disagreement with the political discourse led by the PML-N's leadership and has opted to distance himself from it.
