RAWALPINDI: Awami Muslim League chief and former federal interior minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed says there is a political vacuum [in the country].
The situation has gone out of politicians’ control, and flour and tomatoes can also go past double century.
In his message posted on social networking website X, formerly Twitter, on Tuesday, he wrote that after the triple century of dollar and petrol, [price of] sugar had also surged above double century. Flour and tomatoes can also make a double century. Now the survival of the people has been put at stake.
Rashid said the PPP and the PML-N had started blaming each other and were “washing their dirty linen in public.”
“People are not fool. They are aware of the current situation. They know that the prevailing situation is the result of incompetence and failure of the 16-month rule [of the PDM] due to which 240 million people are suffering,” he added.
The former federal minister said the Sharif brothers and Zardari had fled to London and Dubai after throwing the nation into abyss. The situation could be improved with a strategy. –Agencies
