LAHORE: Praising Prime Minister Imran Khan for 'doing real work' for the country, Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said on Saturday that the premier has put the country's economy back on track.
Talking to media, here today, the Minister said that the PTI will emerge victorious in Azad Kashmir elections and he will celebrate PTI victory on Sunday at 7 pm from Lal Haveli, Rawalpindi. "It was unfortunate that the PML-N had already made up its mind that it would not accept defeat in the AJK elections; the opposition parties are crying foul even before votes are caste," he said.
The Interior Minister announced that he was ready to send a plane to bring PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif back home if the latter announced to return home. He said Nawaz would be provided foolproof security of every agency on his return. He said that he was surprised that Nawaz Sharif was complaining that he was in pain. "Truth of the matter is that he (Nawaz) himself is responsible for the adverse circumstances he is in," he added,
Responding to reports of meeting between Nawaz Sharif and Afghan NSA, Sheikh Rashid said that as per social media, PML-N supremo met with 'RAW' agents. He added that Israel and India had started a hybrid war against Pakistan.
Addressing Sharif family, Rashid said, "I, and not you, am a Kashmiri. How can you call yourself Kashmiris? Is Jati Umra situated in Kashmir? And despite all that you have a cheek to call us people who have betrayed Kashmiris. You on the other hand were hard on words and soft on practice when it came to Kashmir issue," he alleged.
He further said the Kashmiris are far more politically mature than you; they are up against the Indian forces. He said that Pakistan stands with Kashmiris in their fight for freedom and Prime Minister Imran Khan fought their case in best possible manner while Fazlur Rehman failed to do anything substantial for the cause.
Answering a question, he said that he does not see any future of 'Nawaz Sharif party' in politics alleging they looted the national exchequer. Sheikh Rashid also hit out at Maryam Nawaz for repeating the same allegation again and again that Pakistan had sold Kashmir to India. "Your language will destroy your political career," he said while addressing Maryam Saheba. He regretted the use of 'objectionable language' during speeches in AJK.
To another question, he made it clear that daughter of the Afghan ambassador had not been kidnapped but had gone missing. Responding to a query, Rashid said Pakistan and China were time-tested friends, and that work on Dasu power project would get underway soon.
