LAHORE (Dunya News) – Federal Minister for Pakistan Railways Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said the opposition is corrupt and money launderer which cannot do any harm to the federal government.

The federal minister held a press conference in Lahore and said it has been proven that the opposition is incompetent which has looted the nation. We will see ‘minus three’ formula if ‘minus one’ is chattered, he stressed.

Sheikh Rashid said Chaudhry brothers are going nowhere while requesting Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders to not discuss party differences on media. It is unfortunate that ministers are playing the role of the opposition, he added.

Talking about petrol crisis, the minister claimed that prices were increased by conspiracy. The rates were decreased untimely in the first place, Sheikh Rashid said. He also predicted that sugar case might get serious.

The federal minister told that Sikh yatris’ coaster bus met the accident due to driver’s negligence as the railway crossing was closed but he still tried to pass sideways.

Sheikh Rashid affirmed that the ongoing year is the year of Railways’ progress. The ML-1 project is revolutionary which will generate livelihood for 1.5 lac people, he continued.

China cooperated a lot with Pakistan in developing Railways, he said while adding that train fares have not been increased and the proposal is rejected. We have decided to hand over Railways’ cases to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB), he told.
