PPP demands to charge Sheikh Rashid with treason
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) has demanded filing Sheikh Rashid with treason for violating the Official Secrets Act. PPP leaders Nafisa Shah and Palwasha Khan said that self-appointed spokespersons like Sheikh Rashid should be given a shut-up call.
Addressing a joint press conference in Islamabad, PPP Information Secretary Nafisa Shah said that a new narrative of secret meetings has now been launched. It is unfortunate that a meeting between politicians and the Army Chief on national security issues was misrepresented to the public. PPP leaders said that after the APC, the struggle for civilian supremacy in Pakistan would reach its logical conclusion.
Talking to the media, Palwasha Khan alleged that sensitive national security issues were brought in the media spotlight under a well thought out plan, on instructions of the Prime Minister.
Palwasha Khan said that Sheikh Rashid Ahmed has committed treason with his oath, what happened yesterday was done at the behest of India. She said it is time that national institutions brush aside spokesmen such as Sheikh Rashid and his like.
