LAHORE (Dunya News) – Railways Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmad raised objections on Shehbaz Sharif’s appointment as the Chairman of Public Accounts Committee (PAC) saying that the move has not sent a good message among the public.
While talking to newsmen in Lahore on Saturday, he criticized Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and said that they will gain nothing from holding rallies.
“All will be revealed if the case of falooda vendor is opened,” he taunted.
It emerged in September that a food vendor in a low-income neighbourhood of Karachi had an account in his name in a private bank which contained more than two billion rupees.
Rashid also lamented over his video leak in which he told that Prime Minister Imran Khan had asked him to join Ministry of Information.
The minister stressed that steps are being taken to improve the standard of Pakistan Railways and to provide maximum relief to the people.
“New passenger and freight trains will be inaugurated soon including a new train between Lahore and Rawalpindi,” he announced.
Sheikh Rashid invited the private sectors to contribute in the development of railways, adding that VIP trains will be launched soon with the collaboration of private partners.
The Minister said Pakistan Railways will introduce a mobile app for conveying trains schedule to the people.
