Politics moving towards destruction, says Sheikh

By Staff Report

RAWALPINDI: Awami Muslim League chairman and former federal minister Sheikh Rashid said on Thursday the political landscape of the country was moving towards destruction.
Speaking to media after appearing in court in a case, he voiced concern over the public crisis. He said inflated electricity bills and inflation had compelled the public to take to the street and the government was responsible for the hue and cry.
He also highlighted the political victimisation of the PTI, stating that it was denied electoral symbol. “Efforts are now being made to ban the PTI,” he said.
All these injustices wouldn’t affect the PTI but the government would ultimately pay the price, he added. He lambasted the government, saying their acts would benefit PTI founder Imran Khan. He said politics was going towards destruction and things would be pretty clear by Aug 31. He once again clarified that Lal Haveli was around three marlas and his personal property. He said he was being thrown away from his home and 19 houses had been built over there. He said Lal Haveli was unsealed twice on the Lahore High Court orders.
Earlier, Awami Muslim League leader and former interior minister, Sheikh Rashid, has raised serious concerns about the worsening state of the country and its economy.
Speaking to the media outside Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail, Rashid emphasized the gravity of the situation, noting that during his five-year tenure as a minister, he had shown leniency and now appeals to the establishment for a general amnesty.
