RAWALPINDI
\nAwami Muslim League chief and former interior minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed has questioned the ruling alliance (Pakistan Democratic Movement) with whom it would contest elections by disqualifying or removing [minus] Imran Khan.
\nIn a series of tweets on Monday, he wrote that the system of oppression could not continue. The PML-N, which always violates sanctity of chaddar aur chaar deewari, would be buried. \u201cDivine order will prevail sooner or later.\u201d
\nSheikh Rashid urged people not to support the \u201ccorrupt\u201d government. He said the nation rued what happed on May 9. Innocent people were being arrested and their mothers cursing, he said. \u201cHatred and anxiety is growing but it must end.\u201d
\nHe called the \u201cwrong\u201d impression that the gap between the masses and institution had widened a ploy. He said Nawaz Sharif could not step out of his house, that\u2019s why overseas Pakistanis were being intimidated.
\nThe AML leader said police were raiding places to arrest him and his nephew Sheikh Rashid Shafiq. \u201cMy staff has been whisked away. Until police arrest me, I will keep in touch with the nation through Twitter,\u201d he added.
\nHe noted government failures on economic front; standoff with the IMF, budget crisis, ruined economic and widening distance with friendly countries. The former minister said the poor were dying.
\nThe rupee-dollar disparity was increasing and now the government had increased the price of medicines by 20 per cent. The poor man was forced to eat soiled flour, he deplored. Mr Ahmed said the corrupt government should not be supported. Only the Supreme Court could pull the country out of the political crisis, he concluded. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
