RAWALPINDI: Awami Muslim League Chief and former Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed said that real conspirators and perpetrators of May 9 carnage should be punished and innocent people should be released. In his message on social networking site twitter, he vehemently criticised people who were changing loyalties and called them coward. “Cowards don’t even wait to complete days of iddat [transition period]. There is marathon going on to leave party. Party they will join will also sink,” Sheikh Rasheed added.

 He said that parties were made through “Needy” and “Self-serving people”, therefore, democracy fails and no government completes five-year term. Prime Minister was delivering useless speeches three times a day. They could not run government, he added.

 He enumerated failures of government-IMF deserted them, rupee devalued to 307 to dollar, friends abandoned them, political and economic collapse took place. “Poor have no money to bury their dead, they are looking towards Supreme Court after Allah,” he said.

Incumbent government has no worth. It has failed to run affairs of country, growth has plummeted into negative and there is Juma Bazaar in National Assembly where sale and purchase [of parliamentarians] is going on, Ahmed concluded.
