Pakistan PM Shahid Khaqan Abbasi feels politicians deserve same respect as judges, generals, and government officials

While addressing a ceremony in Pasrur the PM said a country needs to respect its politicians to ensure its progress.

"Politicians are in the front when it comes to running countries and solving problems," Abbasi was quoted as saying by Geo News.

The PM said the general election in the nation will be held before July 30.

“If the elections are delayed then we will approach the courts and the people,” he was quoted as saying in an event by Geo News.

“Many people don’t want the elections to be held in the country on time,” PM Abbasi said.
