RAWALPINDI: Former interior minister and Chief of Awami Muslim League, Sheikh Rashid Ahmed has stated that there is ‘international conspiracy’ against armed forces of Pakistan to defame them.
Addressing a new conference here on Sunday, Rashid said that this is international conspiracy to damage the dignity of Pakistan Army besides creating instability and religious disharmony in the country. He said that in this way some countries wanted to target the nuclear program and economy. He said that Pakistan has acquired this technology to face India.
He also came hard on Finance Minister Ishaq Dar and stated that foreign exchange reserves have fallen by $1 billion since finance minister assumed his charge, thereby implying that International Monetary Fund (IMF) $1 billion has been spent. Rashid added that finance minister has stated that he wanted rescheduling of $27 billion loans, which in other words mean that accepts that the country is at the verge of default.
Former interior minister that said that for the security of the country could not be relied on corrupt leaders who have allegedly been involved in money laundering and their accounts and money is abroad. They have got their NAB cases buried, he added.
He said the alliance of 14 parties would get the people’s message Sunday evening when the by polls results would be announced and they would see for themselves the demise of their politics. He said that these fourteen parties are no longer representatives of the people. People of the country want free and fair new election to elect their representatives. He expressed the hope that former Prime Minister Imran Khan would give his ‘long march’ call next week.
We will join him in the long march for the security of the country and solution of the people’s problems. He said that Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah himself is alleged in criminal cases and this was claimed by his own party leader from Faisalabad, Sher Ali. He said that it is unfortunate that law and order of the country has been given in the hand of an allegedly criminal person.
He said that he had full faith that armed forces of the country would not open fire on their own people during the long march.
