Abbasi, who was chosen as the premier by the ruling PML-N after the Supreme Court ousted Nawaz Sharif for dishonesty last year, also ruled out the possibility of action against Lashkar-e-Taiba founder Hafiz Saeed, saying there were no cases against him in Pakistan. “I don’t think there is a danger of war, at least from our side, it isn’t there. Pakistan has never taken unilateral action, we have always demonstrated responsibility,” Abbasi said in an interview with Geo News channel that was aired on Tuesday night. Abbasi also said there has been no change in Pakistan’s stance that Kashmir remains the “core issue” with India. Abbasi said there was “nothing new” about the reported secret meetings between the National Security Advisers of India and Pakistan.
