Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, a PML-N veteran, has resigned as the party217;s senior vice president as the division within the ruling party widens in the wake of recent developments.
Shehbaz Sharif reportedly has not accepted Abbasi217;s resignation, according to reports in the local media. The premier is scheduled to meet with the disgruntled leader today.
According to rumors, Khaqan Abbasi, who served as the nation217;s 21st prime minister, has concerns about recent party decisions, including the appointment of Maryam Nawaz.
Suleman Shahbaz217;s comments about former finance minister Miftah Ismail infuriated Abbasi as well.
Amid the reports, the estranged PML-N leader remained tight-lipped over his reservations and has not shared any update on any of his social media handles.
The senior PML-N leader lately lamented the existing political system, calling it ineffective to solve long-lasting problems.
