Two dissenting “stalwarts” of the Nawaz League, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and Miftah Ismail have announced the launch of a political party, Awaam Pakistan, on July 6.
It was revealed through a video posted on social media platform X, former Twitter, with the tagline ‘Awaam Pakistan: Badlen ge nizaam’ (People of Pakistan: will change the system).
The idea of the new party has been conceived by Abbasi, a former prime minister, and Ismail, a former finance minister, of the current ruling PML-N some time ago to “pull” the country out of “crises”.
Ismail recently announced the launch of Awaam Pakistan with Abbasi its first convener. Divulging the party’s manifesto, he said that it aimed to change the governance system with the masses as core sources of decision-making.
