ISLAMABAD: PML-N Chief Organiser Maryam Nawaz is set to meet Shahid Khaqan Abbasi “Soon” after her representative Muhammad Zubair verified reports that Shahid Khaqan Abbasi had tendered his resignation from his position as party’s senior Vice President. Media reports surfaced of senior party leader’s decision to distance himself from role after recently appointed party Chief Organiser Maryam Nawaz returned to country.

Verifying reports, Zubair told reporters, “Shahid Khaqan Abbasi is senior leader and worker of PML-N. I believe that by quitting his post as senior VP will not impact his stature at all”. “He is very big leader, he has been Prime Minister and party needs him very much.” Shying away from “Bringing up intra-party politics in public”, Zubair said that Miftah Ismail was member of party and that his replacement, Finance Minister Ishaq Dar, has “Greater status”.

“When politics turns into enmity, people’s problems remain. It is unfortunate that economic crisis and failure of politics has reached its peak,” Khaqan had said stressing need for governments to actually perform.
