Pakistan
The assembly was formed in Sindh House through buying and selling of the members
RAWALPINDI (Dunya News) - Awami Muslim League chief and former federal interior minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said that this 16-month long assembly would be remembered as ‘anti-democracy and anti-people’.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), he said the masses finally got rid of the anti-people government which ruled the country for 16 months. The assembly was formed in Sindh House through buying and selling of the members, he claimed.
The former minister without naming Shehbaz Sharif criticised him and said he became the prime minister (PM) the day his indictment was due. He had his cases quashed and did nothing but delivering speeches and having pictures. They also banned the media, he added.
اللہ اللہ کرکے سولہ ماہ کی غریب دشمن حکومت کے سیاہ دور سے قوم کو نجات نصیب ہوئی اور آج سندھ ہاوس میں ممبروں کی خریدو فروخت سے بننے والی سازشی اسمبلی تحلیل ہوگئی جنہوں نےصرف اپنے کیسز ختم کرائےجس دن فرد جرم لگنی تھی اُسی دن وزیراعظم بن گئے تقریروں تصویروں اور تعریفوں کےعلاوہ…

He said they could not finalise the name of the caretaker PM.
By making the assembly a bill-producing factory, he said the outgoing rulers had passed 121 bills in a day. They put ‘innocent workers’ behind the bars, increased the prices of electricity and flour as well.
He said the rulers had come to power to lift people out of poverty but they did otherwise and made people's lives miserable.
In the last week, he said the rulers not only exploited the law but also put their political opponents in the jail.
