No minus-one formula, Imran Khan will complete five years: Sheikh Rasheed
December 16, 2019
ISLAMABAD (92 News) – Federal Minister for Railways Sheikh Rasheed said that there is no minus-one formula and Prime Minister Imran Khan will complete five years. Talking to the media on Monday, he said that he sees no politics of Nawaz Sharif and Asif Zardari in the country. “I will talk to Maulana Sahib after December. Bilawal will have to do a plea bargain as he is involved in misappropriation of funds in five big companies,” he said. He said that the Muslims in India were protesting against the Indian Citizenship Act. “Today the ideology of the Quaid-e-Azam has won.” The minister said that work on the martial track to modernize the railways had started. “Several politicians are celebrating the New Year in London.” He said that there are five money laundering cases against Asif Zardari. “Pakistan is working with several countries, Saudi Arabia and China.” Sheikh Rasheed said that the shuttle service from Hyderabad and Karachi will be inaugurated soon. “Nawaz Sharif and Asif Zardari are unwell. However, the latter one has no courage to face jail. Maryam Nawaz has also been disqualified,” he said. Earlier, Federal Minister for Railways Sheikh Rasheed said that those demanding the elections are not cooperating with the government for the appointment of the chief election commissioner. He said that he was witnessing a delay in the return of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and Shehbaz Sharif. “Shehbaz Sharif is a king-type man. Shehbaz Sharif establishes new friendships there,” he maintained. He said that there was no problem in the amendment for extension in the service tenure of Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa. “The government has a simple majority for amendment,” he added. The minister said that Sheikh Rasheed did not want to send Nawaz Sharif abroad, but the media portrayed the matter in a way that he (Nawaz) will not survive. He said that Maulana Fazlur Rehman had talked about a good news in December, but he did not mention the year. “The opposition could not change the Senate chairman. How will it bring a no-confidence motion against PM Imran Khan,” he said. Sheikh Rasheed said that the ML-1 journey will be safe. “We are taking the railway department to profit. We earned Rs 103 million in tickets, which is a record,” he added. “About 90 percent trains are on time. The 1,872km track will reduce the travel time from Lahore to Karachi to six hours,” he said.
