LAHORE: Federal Minister for Railways Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed on Saturday claimed that a forward bloc is in the making in the opposition Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N).
Addressing a press conference here, Rasheed said that cases against Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari are more stronger than there are against PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif.
“Sindh is not going to witness governor’s rule, neither it will become a political battleground for [Prime Minister] Imran Khan, but a forward bloc in the PML-N is in the making and that will be evident in the days to come,” said the railways minister.
He added that PPP leader Khursheed Shah’s fate will be similar to Zardari’s, and demanded resignation of Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah, whose name has been placed on the Exit Control List (ECL).
On Friday, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) Sindh chapter demanded the resignation of Sindh chief minister Syed Murad Ali Shah, a day after the federal government announced to place the names of top PPP leadership on the ECL.
