Opposition’s politics to be buried soon: Rasheed

Federal Minister for Interior Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed on Saturday said that the future of PML-N’s politics would be the same as the NASLA tower faced.

Addressing a rally at Lal Haveli in connection with Kashmir Solidarity Day, the minister said that organising protest rallies or a long march is the opposition’s right, adding the government would not create hurdles in their way; however, the politics of corrupt opposition parties, including PML-N and PPP, would be buried soon.

The minister said that the previous ruling parties had looted the country badly and were responsible for the prevailing inflation in the country.

Rasheed said that Pakistan’s development is linked to stability in Afghanistan, adding that Taliban got independence after 40 years of war and Pakistan has friendly relations with the government in Afghanistan.

He said Pakistan’s defence is in safe hands and “we have not made bombs to use them on Devali or Shab-e-Barat, adding that any move to destabilise the country would be dealt with iron hands”, he added.

The minister, on the occasion, said that Lal Haveli always did the politics of the well being of the oppressed people and never supported any land mafia in the city, adding that 10,000 volunteers would be enrolled in his constituency who will assist the needy people.

He said the Pakistani people are united on the Kashmir issue, adding that Kashmir is Pakistan’s jugular vein and freedom is the fundamental right of the people of occupied Jammu and Kashmir, which cannot be denied by anybody.

Talking about the recent rise in terrorism incidents and attacks on security forces, he said that incidents that had taken place over the past week could further increase.

“I do not want to comment on the talks here. The Taliban have intervened but the incidents that occurred in the past week could increase. They could rise [further],” he said.
