For those who haven't seen video:
-These skumbags and their companies were getting 200,000 dollars a DAY in subsidies from the government under corrupt contracts. The agreement was till they recouped their $13 million. They however till date have stolen $6billion. And here we are struggling for dollars
-Unstopped they would have received $200 BILLION over the next decade.
Its a scam, ten times worse, like the government under Sharfis only buying materials to make roads from Sharifs' factories for an inflated price therefore robbing the nation's treasury.
Hence why the nation has no money, this one scam has been destructive. We have been begging for 4-5 billion and they have robbed billions of dollars.
All the documents are from when Sharifs were in government, all signed, stamped by all of these looters. Absolute red-handed.

Former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has decided party ways with Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), ARY News reported on Saturday citing sources.
Sources said the former premier will formally announce his decision in a press conference in the coming days. Khaqan Abbasi has decided to quit PML-N after consulting with his constituents, they say.
The veteran politician asserted that he would not contest the general elections, terming the upcoming polls ‘pointless’. “I would not contest upcoming polls, but can join new party after the general elections,” said Shahid Khaqan Abbasi.
He also announced to support PML-N candidate in the February 8 elections if party gives a chance to a common worker.
Khaqan had previously stepped down from his role as the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Senior Vice President and did not attend party’s ongoing meetings related to election tickets chaired by PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif in Lahore. He also skipped Nawaz’s homecoming rally on October 21.
Earlier, Abbasi made it clear that his leader is Nawaz Sharif and if Maryam Nawaz elevated to the PML-N’s top office, he will consider remaining in the party’s fold or not.
“I was named the senior vice president of the PML-N when Shehbaz Sharif was arrested in year 2019,” Shahid Khaqan said. “When Maryam was given the leadership position and elevated to the Chief Organizer’s position, I had tendered my resignation at that time from the party office to the PML-N president,” he said. “I could not work further on the party’s office, I told.”
“I have long-time relations and friendship with Nawaz Sharif, he is my leader, and this relation could not be bonded with Maryam,” Shahid Khaqan said.

Shahid Khaqan Abbasi will not contest general election
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Tuesday announced he would not take part in the upcoming general elections going to be held in February 2024.
Speaking to media persons outside an accountability court of Islamabad, Abbasi said he was pursuing the so-called cases instituted by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) against him. The senior politician said it was the fifth year that he was facing NAB cases.
He said earlier a case was framed against him and it was eventually closed. The present one also would be closed, he added.
Abbasi said he demanded many times before that cameras should be installed in NAB courts so that people could know about proceedings of the case. He was of the view that the prevailing system was flawed and unable to run affairs of the state.
"Who will be held accountable for the prevailing injustice and tyranny in the country?" he asked. The former prime minister said neither Nawaz Sharif contacted him nor was it needed. He said the same level playing field was in place now which the PTI had when it got power.
He avoided questions pertaining to forming a new party or quitting the PML-N, and said he would not take part in elections.
Earlier, NAB court judge Muhammad Bashir conducted hearing of the LNG reference against Abbasi. The counsel for the former prime minister appeared before the judge.
During proceedings, Abbasi's counsel prayed to court that an intra-court appeal was being heard by the Supreme Court and till apex court's decision, further proceedings in the case should be deferred.
The court adjourned hearing of the case until Feb 13.

He may or may not be guilty of corruption but at least he has shown evidence of conscience. The shameless Sharifs, Munir and Nadeem have lost all sense of proportion and committed unforgivable sins. There time will come

Elections ‘constitutional necessity’ but leaders should make them ‘meaningful’: Shahid Khaqan
Former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Thursday said that while general elections were a “constitutional necessity”, it was incumbent upon the political leadership to make them “meaningful”.
The estranged PML-N leader, who had developed differences with the party leadership over the last year, made the remarks while speaking to the media in Rawalpindi.
In February last year, he had resigned as the party’s senior vice president in an effort to give Chief Organiser Maryam Nawaz an “open field”.
During today’s media talk, Abbasi also said he had decided against contesting the February 8 polls but had not quit politics, terming the elections “useless”.
"Elections are a constitutional necessity — it is not a choice whether to hold elections or not — but it is the political leadership’s duty to make the elections meaningful and a way to solve the country’s problems,” he said.
“The political leadership has failed in this action,” the ex-premier said.
He said that the only way to move forward was for the country’s political, military and judicial leadership to come together and determine the path ahead.
He stressed that politicians “should realise that the country can never make progress if its elections become controversial”.
The politician highlighted that it was the responsibility of Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja, Chief Justice of Pakistan Qazi Faez Isa and caretaker premier Anwaarul Haq Kakar to ensure that the upcoming elections were “non-controversial”.
“With each passing day, I become more satisfied that I made the right decision. Such an election, which does not give the country anything other than incitement and flaws; at least I did not play a part in this misdeed,” he said.
Criticising bodies such as the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) and the Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE), he said it was a “misfortune” that they had become the “most corrupt institutions”.
Alleging that these institutions were now solely used to “break and distort polls”, Abbasi said the entities themselves were the ones “contesting elections”.
“We have stolen every election since 1947. A country where the public’s opinion is not respected can never make progress,” he said, adding that if the politics of “garnering votes through pressure” was not rejected, the country could not move forward.
When asked about reports of him and other leaders — including Mustafa Khokhar and Miftah Ismail — forming a new party, Abbasi said, “A [political] party is not formed in such an environment.”
In an apparent reference to the PML-N, the PTI and the PPP, he said, “The three major political parties in Pakistan today have failed.”
He further said he would decide on his political future after the February 8 polls.
When asked if the perpetrators behind the violence in the country on May 9 — when riots broke out following the arrest of PTI founder Imran Khan — should be provided with a level playing field, Abbasi said that action should have been taken against the individuals by collecting evidence and following the legal process.

Ex-premier Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has called for the country’s politicians to hold a national dialogue to bridge the “divides”.
In an interview with DawnNewsTV, the estranged PML-N leader said Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif should hold talks with “everyone”.
“He will have to sit together. It is a reality — whether you accept it or not — that the PTI has won seats. The fight is on how many,” he said.
Abbasi further said, “May God guide the PTI so that they understand what is a parliamentary system. They have entered it [so] should [play the role as] opposition; they are in such huge numbers.”
The politician asserted, “Until a consensus is reached, the country cannot be run.

Shahid Khaqan announces to launch new political party
Former Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Sunday announced to launch a new political party within two months.
During his appearance on ARY News Programme “Sawaal Yeh Hai” , Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said that discussion is underway with like-minded people for launching a political party.
“We are also consulting on the ideology of the party and hopefully it will be formed within two months,” he added. The former prime minister said that the current three major political parties cannot resolve the issues being faced by the people.
Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said that there is space for both a new political party and a “new way of thinking” in the current political environment.
He said that the economic issues of Pakistan cannot be resolved without political stability in the country. “The government and the opposition should sit together and move towards constitutional amendments,” Shahid Khaqan Abbasi added.
The former prime minister said that the government itself looks ‘scared and unhappy’ with its mandate. “There is also an element of shame in the government. It is feared that politics would be on one side and national affairs on the other,” he added.
Earlier on March 19, the former prime minister hinted at launching a new political party soon.
“We are holding consultations and groundwork in progress for a new political party,” he said while talking to media representatives outside the Accountability Court . “The country needed a new political party,” he said.
To a question, estranged PML-N leader said that having no contact with Nawaz Sharif, “I am ready to meet him, when he will summon”, he added.

All of this is happening because of Maryam Nawaz because ppl like SKA can't say "Yes Madam" to her on stupid decisions. In my opinion it's a wise decision by Shahid Khaqan to get out of that mess and join another party.

Former prime minister and political maverick Shahid Khaqan Abbasi remarked on Sunday that he hadn't witnessed any breach of the constitution by former Army Chief General (R) Qamar Javed Bajwa and former Director General (DG) Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Lt. General (R) Faiz Hameed.
However, he emphasised that if any wrongdoing occurred, it should be duly addressed and brought to light.
Abbasi's statements came during an interview with Samaa TV's programme "Do Tok with Kiran Naz" where he addressed various pressing issues concerning the nation, spanning from governance to international relations.
Regarding the composition of the federal cabinet, Abbasi slated the critique surrounding Muhammad Aurangzeb's appointment as Finance Minister, highlighting the importance of competence over mere party affiliation.
Advocating for accountability, Abbasi called for the establishment of a truth commission to unveil facts transparently. He stressed the need for accountability measures that adhere strictly to the rule of law, citing a past corruption case where accountability procedures seemed to falter.
Expressing his views on the National Accountability Bureau (NAB), Mr Khaqan suggested its closure, advocating for a system where financial transparency is maintained through meticulous tax record-keeping.
Abbasi also underscored the significance of the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC), urging for its chairmanship by the Prime Minister to ensure efficient decision-making in economic matters.
On the subject of trade relations with India, Shahid Khaqan proposed revisiting the dialogue process and giving the opposition a platform for discussion.
Furthermore, he emphasised the importance of fostering stronger ties with Afghanistan, recognizing the need for constructive dialogue between the two neighboring countries.
Highlighting the sacrifices made by Pakistani soldiers on the western border, the former premier called for a diplomatic approach towards Afghanistan, emphasising the importance of recognizing Afghanistan's sovereignty.
Meanwhile, Abbasi mentioned the potential role of Nawaz Sharif in national or provincial politics, given his party's current position of power.

According to the Election Act 2017, political parties are being registered. The upcoming elections will be fought vigorously under the new political party. The former prime minister on the PMLN ticket said that the name of the political party has not been finalized yet.
Former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Tuesday hoped that the new political party would emerge soon.
Speaking to the media in Islamabad, Abbasi said; "The country needs new leadership. The country where the government cannot take decisions cannot run." The responsibility lies with the government to bring back its laws. Both the president and prime minister had faced the detention of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB)."
"No officer is ready to work due to the fear of the NAB," he added. "It is up to the president and the premier to free the country from the NAB," Abbasi said.

Zaeem Qadri intends to join Abbasi’s party
Zaeem Hussain Qadri, a former Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader has expressed his resolve to join a new political party, which will be launched by former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi in the coming weeks.
Abbasi formally moved the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) for the registration the party under the Election Act earlier this week. Though, the name of the new party has not yet been released, some unconfirmed reports suggest it could be ‘Reform Party’.
A day after, Abbasi went to the ECP in Islamabad, Qadri, who served as the Punjab minister in then chief minister Shehbaz Sharif’s cabinet, expressed his resolve to stand with Abbasi and would become a member of his party upon its launch.
Qadri, once seen as a hawk in the PML-N until 2017, has been laying low after parting ways with party in 2018 over a dispute over allotment of tickets and other issues with the party President Shehbaz Sharif and his son Hamza.
However, despite publicly criticising Shehbaz and Hamza, Qadri’s wife, Uzma, remained a member of the Punjab Assembly on the reserved seats for women and eventually become an MPA in 2018. She was denied the party ticket in 2024 elections.
Talking to The Express Tribune Syeda Uzma Qadri said that Zaeem Qadri had indeed decided to join Abbasi. When asked if any formal meeting was held with Abbasi or his core team, she confirmed that meetings were going on for quite time some now.
She said that the new party would be launched before Eidul Azha. “Hopefully much before that”, she said, and added that Qadri had waited for five long years for a good opportunity to re-emerge on the political scene.
She revealed that Qadri was approached by the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) as well as the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) for the elections, but he had “respectfully declined” the offers. “Joining a party means agreeing to its ideology.”
She said that Abbasi was a seasoned politician and those with him, including Miftah Ismail, had served the country to the best of their abilities. “So, once they get the chance to govern the country, they will steer the country out of the crises it is in.”
According to the back ground discussions, the new party will approach the masses with the pitch that the three main political parties had failed to bring about any meaningful change in the country which necessitates the launching of a new party.
Another PML-N leader and former Sindh governor Muhammad Zubair too seems a potentially suitable name for this new party, though he has not made any announcement in the regard.
Talking to The Express Tribune, Zubair, who also remained a spokesperson for the Sharifs, said that he had, indeed, been approached to join the new party, but emphasised that that he had not decided anything yet.
Zubair said that he would first assess the situation, as to whether he could be instrumental for that party. Secondly, he added, disagreeing with one party did not mean rushing to join another party.

Pakistan won’t run smoothly without changes in system: Abbasi
Talking to media outside the accountability court in Karachi, he said the country will not run smoothly without drastic changes in the system.
He urged for handing powers to capable people for solution of the national problems.
He said no steps taken over breach of the constitution. “We have to go back to 1947 if we revisit the past.
“The government have no public mandate, this setup has also come from the same route, earlier used by the PTI’s founder to form his government,” Shahid Khaqan said.
He said political parties used to form before elections to achieve specific targets. “We talk about people’s problems, political parties have adopted the route to win power,” he said.
“The court asked about the offence. The NAB has also told that no financial benefit taken in the case,” talking on the case hearing he said.
“Visiting courts for several years, the NAB have no evidence. They even fail to point out which powers were misused,” former PM said. ” Former chairman of the NAB have to respond for it”.
He said the NAB has only devastated the national economy.
Talking on his political party, he said the party will come into existence by the next month and people from all parts of Pakistan will join it.
The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in a previous hearing gave a clean chit to Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, ex-finance minister Miftah Ismail, Chairman Engro Hussain Dawood and Board member Abdul Samad Dawood, and others in the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) reference.
The NAB withdrew the graft reference against the former prime minister, who has since long been calling for abolishing the anti-corruption watchdog over political victimization.

Political stability hinges on fair polls: Shahid Khaqan Abbasi
The convener of the newly-formed Awaam Pakistan (AP) party on Sunday stated that political stability cannot be achieved in a country where elections are rigged.
“Every system in the world has been tried in this country, and now it’s time to turn to the Constitution,” former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi emphasised during the launch event of the ‘Foundation and Vision Document’ for the AP manifesto.
In the event of a rigged election “the country doesn’t function because no one adheres to their oaths”, he said, adding that without reforms, the country will not move forward.
He stressed that unless the constitutional path is followed, nothing will improve. “We must return to the Constitution, as it solves all problems. Nations that violate their constitutions do not progress; solving issues requires effort.”
Mr Abbasi noted that political parties create manifestos and then forget them. He pointed out that all parties have similar manifestos.
“There is no doubt that every Pakistani is distressed today. Whenever one attends a gathering, the question arises: what will become of the country? People ask what the solution to the nation’s problems is,” he observed.
The AP convener said it is the government’s responsibility to ensure that people are provided with basic facilities such as electricity, water, and healthcare services.
Mr Abbasi mentioned that IPPs (independent power producers) might be an issue, but the real problem is the failure of economy.
“The state of the economy today is the same as it was ten years ago,” he added.
He accused the country’s leadership of continuing to serve its own interests, adding that when javelin thrower Arshad Nadeem was leaving for competing in the Paris Olympics not a single minister was present at the airport.

Abbasi urges dialogue with Imran
Former prime minister and APP chief Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has said that the challenges facing Pakistan can only be resolved if Imran Khan and COAS Gen Asim Munir come together for dialogue.

He pointed out that the army chief was the "ultimate centre of power in the country", adding that challenges Pakistan faces will only be addressed when Imran and the army chief sit together and engage in meaningful dialogue.
