ISLAMABAD: Former interior minister Sheikh Rashid said on Monday that the parties included in the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), and currently part of the coalition government, now had no political future.
In his tweets, he said that former prime minister and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif was not comfortable with coming to Pakistan.
He went on to say that the people who now had been forced to buy flour at Rs150 per kilo had become disillusioned not only with the state of the country’s politics, but even with the state.
“The party, which was an ally of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) government, and which later stabbed in that very government’s back, is now deprived of the popular support,” he said, and added, “Such is the dismal state of the country’s economy these days is that even Afghanistan’s economy is better than ours.”
He mocked Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, saying he always looked for an excuse to go abroad.
Referring to senior PML-N leader’s huddle in London Sunday, former interior minister regretted that three absconders had now been tasked with deciding the fate of Pakistan.
Rashid announced he was going to challenge the ‘constitutionality’ of 70-member federal cabinet in the Islamabad High Court.
