AML head sees bleak picture of political landscape in the country
RAWALPINDI (Dunya News) - Awami Muslim League chief and former interior minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed says every party is ready to install its own caretaker prime minister but awaiting permission.
In a message on social networking site X (formerly Twitter), Rashid said that in the next eight days, not only the decisions relating to promotions, changes, appointments and more uplift schemes would be made, but also the affairs pertaining to party’s infighting and issues with powerful quarters would be sorted out.
He said the ruling parties wanted a caretaker prime minister who would be their puppet, act as a stooge and would do everything exactly according to their wishes and demands.

Rashid said a prime minister who could not execute his plan to bring his brother back to the country despite having a diplomatic passport in 15 months, how could he solve problems of the poor country fellows.
The former interior minister said when the PDM would go to public without protocol, they would come to know how popular they were. “Who would like to make investment in a country where 60 people are killed in terrorism in a day? he stated.
The AML chief said silence of Maryam Nawaz and Asif Zardari was not without purpose. He said, “The rift among PML-N leaders is widening. It seems there is something wrong," he said.
These 10 days would shape the future political course of the country and all important decision would be taken in this short period. “Those who are hoodwinking others will also face betrayal and then they will repent their deeds,” Rashid said.
The senior politician said he was seeing a bleak picture of political landscape. They (rulers) would face humiliation and disgrace as their destiny. He said neither they (rulers) earned respect in the privileged class nor could they win hearts of the masses.
“They are destined to be doomed, it’s writing on the wall now,” Rashid concluded.
