Sheikh Rashid says Pakistan nears economic default
RAWALPINDI (Dunya News) – Awami Muslim League (AML) chief Sheikh Rashid Ahmed on Tuesday warned that the country had reached closer to economic default but the ruling elite were busy in their extravagant activities.
In series of tweets, the former interior minister lashed out at the coalition government, stating the 13-party alliance was heading towards its political death. He warned of chaos in the country due to widening gap between the rulers and poor segment of society.
The AML chief said he would be in the United Kingdom on a four-day tour, where he would hold meetings with Pakistani nationals in London and Manchester. All Pakistani expatriates hoped that the Supreme Court would soon grant them the right to vote.
Those who raised fingers on the political acumen of PTI Chairman Imran Khan should introspect themselves. Predicting a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, he said the schedule for next general elections could be announced in April.
