RAWALPINDI: Awami Muslim League (AML) chief Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed on Monday raised his concerns about the upcoming elections, proclaiming that he sees elections being postponed until Sept/Oct.
While talking to media, Rasheed said that keeping the ongoing political climate of the country he doesn’t see elections happening in July but some time later in September or October.
Earlier, on Friday in a press conference along with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, Sheikh Rasheed announced to contest upcoming general elections.
He also stated that the Sharif family is trying to seek a National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) deal while posing as “Tarzans” on television. He said that the Sharif clan has dominated the Punjab province and this can only be rectified by forming separate provinces within Punjab.
“Nawaz Sharif has looted the country. The large-scale corruption in the country even halted the CPEC projects. Pakistan would not witness prosperity until corrupt politicians and individuals are held accountable,” Sheikh Rasheed said while speaking at a press conference.
He also expressed concerns over the lack of clean drinking water across the country.
PML-Q leader Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain has also stated that he foresees elections being delayed.
It is pertinent to mention here that the next general elections in Pakistan are expected by the end of July this year.
