While speaking to anchor Adil Shahzeb during his show on Dawn News, Abbasi said that the PML-N was never in conflict with the establishment. "When there was no tussle [between PML-N and the establishment] to begin with, then the question of mending or not mending relations does not arise," he said in response to a question.
The PML-N leader, when asked about the recent statements by the party leadership criticising the military establishment, he proceeded to say that such remarks during jalsas is a normal occurrence.
