Sheikh Rasheed made a daring escape away because the police could get him. Right out of the movies.
Social media was abuzz about the getaway, with plenty of references to Hollywood. The Great Escape isn’t ever far from being referred to. Nor is The One Who Got Away.
Another youngster said that until now, (WWE wrestler) The Undertaker makes the best entry; that honour has now gone to Sh Rasheed.
On the topic of the police saying that the Rawalpindi politician keeps changing his telephone number, a social media meme grew out, saying that this was akin to being hounded by one’s ex when one is getting married.

Whoever fed the information about Javed Sadiq and Shahbaz Sharif editorialised matters a little too much. Some of the contracts in question weren’t awarded during the Sharifs’ era at all.
But, about the leaks: it is alleged that some of the Chinese companies (each one more competitive than the next) leak information to the Pakistani press when they don’t get their contracts. They have come to adapt well to a country that has a free press, it seems.
