Says instead of protesting outside SC, Shehbaz should step down as PM
RAWALPINDI (Dunya News) - Awami Muslim League chief and former interior minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said on Saturday the judiciary had saved the country from anarchy and civil war.
In his message on social networking site Twitter, Sheikh Rashid said the entire nation stood by the 'great' army. The army did not need crutch of rallies, he said.
The army very much wanted the looters of national kitty and money launderers to be held accountable as per constitution and law, Mr Ahmed said and added the looted wealth should be returned to the country. He said the people emerged victorious and the conspirators lost.
Instead of protesting outside the Supreme Court, Shehbaz Sharif should step down as prime minister. “If the vote sellers can get security, why it cannot be provided for elections,” he asked.
The Awami Muslim League chief said those who attacked the Supreme Court in 1997 should remember that it's 2023. “When the argument ends, the government is left with humiliation,” he remarked.
Poverty and inflation-hit people had hate sentiment for the government. He said the deal with the IMF was in limbo and the sword of default was hanging over Pakistan.
“Government commits a mistake every day and cuts a sorry figure. The desire of martial law and emergency has also died down for the government,” he said. He said an ill-intended sit-in had been planned.
