RAWALPINDI: Awami Muslim League (AML) Chief Sheikh Rasheed predicted on Sunday that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan will emerge victorious in majority of the seats in the by-elections underway in eight constituencies of the Nation Assembly and three constituencies of the Punjab Assembly.
“The by-polls defeat will be in fact a defeat of 13 parties’ alliance and it will go down in the history of the country.”
While talking to ARY News on Sunday, Sheikh Rasheed said that the 13-party alliance is contesting against PTI chief Imran Khan in the by-elections.
“Tonight is very important. Imran Khan will have to wait for today’s [by-elections] results before making an announcement for the long march.”
The AML chief claimed that everything is going in the favour of Khan. He added that the government received a strong public reaction after Joe Biden’s statement. He was of the view that the PTI chairman should give the call for the long march.
While giving a message to the current rulers, he questioned, “We are definitely your opponents but we are part of this nation. Will you carry out a drone strike on us?” He said that “Chor Chor [thief]” has become the national and international slogan against the current rulers.
آرمی چیف کے بیان کےبعد افواہیں ختم اورفوری الیکشن ہونے چاہیں۔حکومت اسلام آباد کے 25لاکھ لوگوں کو قعلہ بند کرےگی تولوگ اسلام آباد کےاندرسےاورمارگلہ کی پہاڑیوں سے نکلیں گے۔بیلٹ کےمقابلے میں بُلٹ کا استعمال سارے ملک میں سیاسی آگ لگا دےگا۔تباہ حال معیشت خطرناک بحران میں داخل ہوجائےگی

Rasheed claimed that the 13-party alliance was not in a position to go to the public. He predicted that Imran Khan will defeat the 13-party alliance in today’s by-elections.
Earlier, Sheikh Rasheed had reiterated the demand for early elections in Pakistan. He warned the PDM government that the use of bullets instead of ballots will be harmful to the country.
Rasheed had said only fair, free and transparent elections will bring political stability to the country as the government cannot stop the masses from coming to Islamabad for protest.
