RAWALPINDI: Awami Muslim League chief and former interior minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said on Monday that the next 10 days were important in the country’s politics and key decisions were expected during these days.
In a message on social networking site X (Twitter), Sheikh Rashid said the real problem was poverty and economy, and not politics.
Those who assumed power to give relief to the poor masses had moved out of the country. They got their cases closed in 16 months, plundered national wealth and pushed the masses to the edge of disaster.
He said those who had come to save the state destroyed it because people were the state. They (past rulers) played havoc with the lives of people in 16 months. “There will be no stability in the country if the people are not prosperous,” he said.
“If industry and businesses do not run, economic condition of the country will not improve,” said the senior politician. The former federal minister said if the poor would not have access to basic necessities of life, how they would make both ends meet.
“People sitting in London are leading a peaceful and luxurious life. They do not realise that high rates of electricity, petrol, flour and sugar are ruining lives of the poor in Pakistan.
They (PDM leaders) are solely responsible for all these crises, but they don’t care about that,” Rashid said. –Agencies
