ISLAMABAD: Awami Muslim League Chief and former Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed has dared PDM ruling alliance to bring reference against three judges as entire nation is standing behind Supreme Court of Pakistan.

Speaking outside Islamabad High Court here, Rasheed said 240 million people were standing like rock with apex court judges. He said it was only Maryam Nawaz’s wish to move reference against honourable justices. They are planning to table resolution [against judges] in Parliament, he said and added that many such resolutions have been passed in past.

Regarding elections in Punjab, former Minister taunted ruling alliance that they were not eligible to go masses. “Nation is preparing for elections, they are trying to evade vote. Out of 13 parties [in PDM], candidates of only three parties have submitted their nomination papers,” Rasheed added.

He ridiculed government saying that they have no opinion of theirs as “Vote [masses] is not with them.” He claimed that Imran Khan has day ago said that they would be humiliated. Imran’s popularity has increased by their foolishness, he continued.

“They were conspiring [against us] but we will use people’s power against them,” Rasheed quipped. He criticised government for adding to their miseries and said people were dying in an attempt to get bag of flour.
