Arrest warrants issued for former PM Shahid Khaqan Abbassi

LAHORE - Arrest warrant for former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi have been issued by LHC.

He failed to appear before the court in a treason case.

A three-judge bench of the LHC, headed by Justice Mazahir Ali Akbar Naqvi, was hearing the petition today.

As the hearing went under way, Justice Naqvi expressed his displeasure at Abbasi's absence from the proceedings.

The petition, lodged earlier by Advocate Azhar Siddiqui, alleged that Abbasi shared crucial details of the National Security Council meeting with Nawaz following his statements on the 26/11 Mumbai attacks and also claimed that by leaking details of the NSC, Abbasi has committed high treason.
