RAWALPINDI: Awami Muslim League Chief and former Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed Ahmad said that elections will be held after Eid or government will be disqualified.

In his message posted on social media site twitter, he wrote that Nawaz Sharif would go to London [from Saudi Arabia] and would not come to Pakistan unless elections were held on his terms. Caretaker governments [term] have ended constitutionally their promotions, demotions, vehicles, and offices should be taken back, he added.

Rashid claimed that Asif Zardari was playing double game. Sum of Rs 21 billion must be released by April 27, otherwise be ready to face serious consequences, he continued.

He said government is entangled in its own trap. It doesn’t realise seriousness of situation. Elections will be held after Eid or government will be disqualified.

Former Interior Minister said that Shehbaz Sharif, Interior Minister and Law Minister will face contempt of court. Elections will be held on May 14 as ordered by Supreme Court, there is no room for change. Time is being wasted under conspiracy in name of negotiations, he said. He wrote that Fazlur Rehman is being kept out of negotiations at behest of Nawaz Sharif.

Rasheed tweeted that Supreme Court kept Constitution and law aloft and gave space to political parties. But parties which are not able to go to public are ones who are hindering election. Visit of Shehbaz Sharif to Saudi Arabia was postponed due to MBS’s busy schedule, he wrote.
