PML-N leader Hanif Abbasi has said that the upcoming government will not be a “bed of roses” for any party, prime minister or chief minister.

“We will all have to work together to pull the country out of crisis but there is one party which says that it will not work with anyone,” he said in a media talk outside the Parliament.

“And the behaviour [of this party] is pushing Pakistan towards instability […] it is working on an agenda which will benefit anti-state elements,” Abbasi said in an apparent reference to the PTI.

He also expressed confidence that Shehbaz Sharif will be elected the prime minister, adding that all the allied parties had agreed to vote for him.
