JUI's protest: Rasheed accuses Shahbaz of playing role of 'Double Shah'

Federal Minister for Railways Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed has said that Opposition leader in National Assembly (NA) Shahbaz Sharif is playing a role of 'Double Shah' in JUI-F's protest on 27th of October which has exposed his real face before the people.

"Bilawal Bhutto is playing on the right side as he knows the consequences of the sit-in".

While addressing a weekly press conference on Saturday at Railways Headquarters, the minister said the movement of JUI-F chief Maulana Fazalur Rehman would damage the Kashmir cause. He said the situation is very tense and Fazalur Rehman may be held responsible for the deteriorated situation. India may also create a disturbance at the border, he claimed.

He said Imran Khan has presented all the four demands of Fazalur Rehman in the United Nations. "Fazal has already insulted the opposition. He is the person who marred the politics of opposition parties," he said.

The minister claimed that Prime Minister Imran Khan had made the best speech in the United Nations. "Most of the Ulema are with Imran Khan. Fazalur Rehman wanted to use the PML-N and the PPP, but he himself has been used," he said.

He said Fazl would trap in the words being spread by him. He should not involve religious forces and religion in politics, he said. The movement will dissipate if Imran Khan releases 'six people'.

Sheikh Rasheed said the mistake made by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi should not go waste. The minister stressed that the prime minister and army chief are on the same page to stabilize the country and its economy.
