He is a hard critic of PTI jailed leader and former Prime Minster Imran Khan. Abbasi dubbed Imran Kahn as Zionist agent. Abbasi also came in limelight due to controversial Ephedrine case. For this case he was granted life imprisonment, but the court dismissed the case for not finding any proof against him.
