Sheikh Rashid predicts technocrat govt by Sept 20
Pakistan
Says Nawaz Sharif will not give extension to anyone and govt is almost over
RAWALPINDI (Dunya News) – Former federal minister Sheikh Rashid on Monday predicted that the government would be sent packing soon as technocrats would hold the reins on Sept 20.
Speaking to media outside the Adiala Jail, Rashid said the government was preparing to step down and interviews for new set-up were being taken. He also announced that he would fully participate in political activities from Aug 31.
He said former premier Nawaz Sharif would not give extension to anyone whereas Shehbaz Sharif didn’t have any power as the government had come to nought.
“I am facing 14 cases but I haven’t uttered a single word against Imran Khan and his wife unlike others who made statements under section 164 after remaining in jail for less than four days,” he remarked.
Rashid requested the Inter-Services Intelligence director general to ask police to return his valuables confiscated during arrest.
“I had never thought that people from ‘Gate No 4’ would pick me up. I have connection with only one person, not with the entire party. The workers are being treated unfairly,” he deplored.
He concluded his press talk with a demand of amnesty from Chief of Army Staff Gen Asim Munir.
