RAWALPINDI: Awami Muslim League chief Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed has said that the baton of command will change today and the election clock will also change by January 30.
In a statement on the social media site Twitter, he said that since four months, the Punjab Assembly session has been going on, so no confidence and Governor’s rule are impossible. Both those who came to the government and those who brought it are regretful.
The former interior minister said that Fazlur Rahman’s statement humiliated him. Today the baton of command will change. By January 30, the election time will also change. Economy is national security, on which no one can remain a silent spectator.
Sheikh Rasheed said that Imran Khan single-handedly buried the politics of 13 parties. If the assemblies were dissolved and there is no money or planning for two elections in one year.
He said that 77 ministers are a burden on the treasury. 8 months of starvation, inflation and now the IMF’s response. Those who went to London to get medicine are celebrating New Year holidays. Sheikh Rasheed said that the countdown has started.
