Federal Minister for Railways Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed on Saturday appreciated PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari for “showcasing sensible thinking, and making a strong statement in a responsible manner”, Geo News reported.
Ahmed was referring to Bilawal’s interview with BBC Urdu where he said Nawaz Sharif’s stance was his own. “The PPP will neither submit resignations nor stand with the PML-N,” he predicted while addressing a press conference in Karachi.
The seasoned politician said Nawaz and Maryam Nawaz were headed towards a dead-lock. “I have never seen a politician who prefers judo karate to dialogue.”
The federal minister said Prime Minister Imran Khan was open to talks on everything except granting NRO.
When asked about Jahangir Khan Tareen’s return, Ahmed said the former proved critics wrong. “They said he ran away but he has returned.”
Ahmed said the democratic process in the country will continue to strengthen and the incumbent government will complete its constitutional term.
The federal minister said things will change after November 16. “Let’s see if the losers accept their loss,” he remarked. “It would be a shame if they don’t accept the decision of Gilgit-Baltistan’s (GB) people.”
