Opposition leaders destined to go to jail after passage of FATF-related laws: Sh Rasheed
He said all those who have run out of the country have gathered in London.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Federal Minister for Railways and Awami Muslim League (AML) chief Sheikh Rasheed on Sunday while lashing out at the opposition leaders said that all opposition leaders are destined to go to jail after the passage of the Financial Action Task Force-related (FATF) legislation.
Speaking exclusively to Dunya News, he said that all those who have run out of the country have gathered in London. “First you give respect to money and then demands sanctity of vote,” he said.
The minister said that he cannot say anything if the courts grant them bail but their bad time is about to begin as sword of cases is hanging over them.
Rasheed went on to say that everyone including former finance minister Ishaq Dar, former prime minister and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif’s son-in-law are taking refuge in London, adding that there were no restrictions on their speeches as all news channels showed.
"Nawaz Sharif was talking about sanctity of vote," he said adding that the PML-N supremo should respect the court decisions to face the corruption cases registered against him in Pakistan.
He said the opposition s APC was just abortive exercise and waste of time as they were not in a position to topple the government or create obstacles in the way of development and stability of the country and masses.
The minister demanded return of all the absconders from the United Kingdom in order to face the corruption and money laundering cases registered against them.
He said the opposition leadership held the APC to protect their looted wealth.
Sheikh Rashid said the government under the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan will never give any kind of NRO to those who looted and plundered the national exchequer.
