"Those who are not loyal to the party cannot be loyal to the country either," the premier observed while speaking at the inauguration ceremony of a gas project in Sheikhupura.
"Those who defected from Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz (PML-N) will be rejected by the nation," he said, adding that those who had jumped ship would have to pay a price in the upcoming elections.
"Those who cannot respect others cannot respect the vote either," the premier said.
Abbasi noted that those who had leveled [false] accusations and continued to use abusive terms did not represent Pakistan's politics.
In a jibe at political rival Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), the prime minister said milestones outlined in the former's 100-day plan had already been achieved by his party, PML-N.
"Those who have not succeeded in 1,500 days [of being elected in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa] have presented the 100-day plan today," said Abbasi. "There is a clear difference between ideologies of political parties. What they [PTI] are promising to do now has already been done by PML-N."
Abbasi claimed that only the ruling party could turn the country into an economic power, adding that the next elected prime minister and chief minister [of Punjab] will belong to PML-N.
"No one has implemented development projects in Sheikhupura except for PML-N," he said, adding that the government should decide in the elections on the basis of how the party has served the people.
