Former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Tuesday asked the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz's (PML-N) government to take tough decisions.
Speaking to the media outside the judicial complex in Islamabad, Abbasi said: "Before the incumbent government, there was a failed government power. We will pray for the guidance of the rulers."
In connection with the Iranian president's visit to Pakistan, Abbasi said: "Iran is our neighbouring country. There is a dire need to further boost the ties between the two countries."
Earlier this month, it was reported that Abbasi had formally parted ways with PML-N forever as he had approached the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) for the registration of his new political party.
Abbasi had himself reached the ECP headquarters in Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) and submitted the information to the ECP for the registration of his party.
He said that he has provided the required documents to the election regulator for registration.
