LAHORE (92 News) – Minister for Railways Sheikh Rasheed has said that the movement of JUI-F chief Maulana Fazalur Rahman will damage the Kashmir cause. Addressing a press conference on Saturday, he said that the situation is very tense lest Maulana Fazalur Rahman is held responsible for the deteriorated situation. “India might create disturbance at the border.” Sheikh Rasheed said that Prime Minister Imran Khan and COAS General Qamar Bajwa are on the same page. The minister said that Bilawal Bhutto is playing on the right side as he knows the consequences of the sit-in. “Imran Khan has presented all the four demands of Maulana Fazalur Rahman in the United Nations. Fazalur Rahman has already insulted the opposition. Maulana Fazalur Rahman is the person who marred the politics of the opposition parties,” he said. The minister claimed that Prime Minister Imran Khan had made the best speech in the United Nations. “A majority of Ulema is with Imran Khan. Fazalur Rahman wanted to use the PML-N and the PPP, but he himself has been used,” he said. He said that Fazalur Rahman would trap in the words being spread by him. “There is a ditch before Fazalur Rahman and a well behind 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 that the mistake made by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi should not go waste. “The nations are not destroyed by attacks on border, but economy. Imran Khan has made big decisions to rectify the economy,” he said. He said that Fazalur Rahman is blackmailing the government. Later, Minister for Railways Sheikh Rasheed visited the house of Chaudhry brothers to inquire after the health of Ch Shujaat Hussain. He prayed for the recovery of Ch Shujaat.
