The AML chief said he would move the Islamabad High Court (IHC) against the raids at his residence without any warrants.<br \/>\nHe alleged that police damaged his belongings and tortured his employees.  He claimed that police officials took away his vehicles, watches, licensed guns and cash during the raids, adding that violation of sanctity of \u201cchadar &#038; char diwari\u201d would cause political volcano in the country.<br \/>\nPredicting elimination of the PML-N, Mr Ahmed said the apex court would give important verdicts. He said elections would be held at every cost.  The AML chief said working for political division of Punjab had been started, adding that the PDM would break apart as the PML-N and PPP would come face to face in the upcoming elections. He also hit out at PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RAWALPINDI Awami Muslim League (AML) chief Sheikh Rashid Ahmed claimed on Tuesday that horse-trading had begun in Dubai ahead of mayoral election in Karachi.
