Awami Muslim League chief Sheikh Rashid has said that old and traditional politics have won once again and the nation has been defeated.
Speaking in a talk show on a private TV channel on Saturday, he said every party – the ANP, PML-Q, PPP, JI – had complained of rigging in elections 2013.
“Makhdoom Amin Fahim says agencies were responsible, but I think democracy has to step forward now,” he said.
The AML chief said dialogue could be initiated with the Taliban for sake of peace.
“To stop bomb blasts in the country, the government should take action and talk to the Taliban. They can talk with Mullah Omar. He favours Pakistan. If the US forces leave Afghanistan, we have to think on these lines. Directly or indirectly, we have to contact Mullah Omar,” Sheikh added.
He said President Asif Ali Zardari would grant pardon to former PMs Yousaf Raza Gilani and Raja Pervez Ashraf and would leave the President’s Office after some time.
“The policies of Musharraf, Asif Zardari and Nawaz Sharif are all the same. Everyone is taking his turn. Nawaz wants no opposition leaders from the PTI, he wants PPP as a dummy opposition,” Sheikh said.
“Nawaz has got two-thirds majority for the second time. The situation is tough for him, but he is still heading towards Khunjrab instead of o Karachi. People are dying from Peshawar to Karachi,” the AML chief said.
Sheikh said no investment was coming to the country, the currency was devaluing, reserves were only Rs 6 billion and unemployment was rampant, which together formed the major issues facing the country.

  1. sheik Rasheed is right, Mian saab will continue on the same path of high unmployment, very high inflation, illeteracy and dwindling currency reserves. The prognosis on load shedding is marginal improvement in the next 5 years. Elimination of load shedding, will take as long as 20 to 25 years of hard work. Nothing good to look forward to. May Allah help us. Ameen.

  2. Sheikh Saab, why don't you quit politics and take some rest. You have been in the politics for almost the last 30 years. Let young blood come in the politics. Be an example yourself first then preach to others. It will have more effect.

    Every one has seen how heavy were the last 5 years on you and how did you manage now to get into Assembly; on IK's shoulders. You speak against the politicians grown on the lawns of GHQ but keep it in mind that any way you too have been a part of the same lot some time.

  3. Nawaz Sharif made Sheikh Rasheed a leader by ditching him! its mistake done by sharifs who believe in absolute power at any cost as money is no issue! Sheikh Rasheed is now has nothing to lose and became truthful against so called elite corrupt career politicians! This is something hard to digest by mega rich and corrupt Sharifs, They consider workers as subhumans and leaders of party can only be from own family and other rich friends.
