–Claims Indian PM Modi can launch surgical strike in Pakistan ahead of election

 

LAHORE: Minister for Railways Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed on Thursday announced his intention to challenge National Assembly Opposition Leader Shehbaz Sharif’s chairmanship of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) in the Supreme Court.

Rasheed declared Shehbaz’s appointment “unconstitutional”, and asserted that he has the courage to say that despite being a member of the federal cabinet.

Accusing the opposition leader of “playing on both sides of the wicket”, he declared that he will be embraced with salutes in the offices of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) and the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA).

He said that he doesn’t see a future for former president Asif Ali Zardari and incarcerated former prime minister Nawaz Sharif in politics.

Moreover, he said that Zardari is all set to go to jail since he already considers it his ‘susral‘, the house of his in-laws.

The railways minister also claimed that there’s a possibility that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi could launch a surgical strike at Pakistan to appease his far-right constituents ahead of India’s general election in 2019.

He concluded that he will request the army chief to allow army coaches to become operational, adding that his ministry will be ready to spend funds on it.
