KARACHI (Dunya News) - Former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi casting doubts about fairness and transparency of the February 8 polls, said on Saturday that Form-47 won over Form-45.

He questioned validity of the election results, noting that Form-47 was prepared before Form-45, revealing discrepancies in both forms.

Abbasi humorously pointed out that even Google seemed confused about the election outcomes, turning what should have been a means of achieving political stability into a chaotic situation due to alleged rigging.

Emphasizing the country's challenges, Abbasi criticized political parties and leaders for not discussing solutions during their campaigns. He expressed the unusual situation where individuals seemed hesitant to take power, yet discussions about power were prevalent.

Commenting on the broader political scenario, he observed that power struggle persisted despite potential harm to the nation. Refuting claims of advocating against elections, Abbasi clarified that he never opposed them but stressed that elections alone won't solve problems.

Pakistan was facing plethora of challenges and any political party or leader has not taken responsibility to solve the crisis country facing but everyone wanted to rule.

He suggested stepping out of power politics for genuine solutions. Abbasi, having opted out of the election contest, expressed gratitude for avoiding involvement in the current chaos.

Taliking about Maulana Fazlur Rehman, Abbasi noted that he hasn't bid farewell to the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) and he was ready to head PDM again.

Discussing the National Accountability Bureau (NAB), Abbasi criticized the misuse of power for political scoring, highlighting ongoing charges against him for six years and injustices faced by people in the courts.

He hoped the upcoming government would swiftly resolve issues and abolish NAB.
