KARACHI: An accountability court in Karachi on Wednesday indicted former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi in a reference concerning illegal appointments to which he, along with the other accused, pleaded not guilty. The people are united, but unfortunately, the government did not extend the hand of solidarity towards the opposition,” said Abbasi. About the continuing issue of power outages in Karachi, Abbasi said that there was no excuse for load-shedding in the port city. How those who cannot manage their ministry will manage the Sindh government?” he posed the questions. Abbasi, however, said the doors for dialogue would never be closed in politics, but added that he mistrusts the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government’s ministers.
