Former interior minister Sheikh Rasheed
Awami Muslim League chief and former interior minister Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed has once again warned the government that attempts to arrest Imran Khan or break the PTI would trigger bloody politics in the country.
Taking to Twitter on Tuesday, Sheikh Rasheed said that the security of the country is more important than politics and power, adding that the instability in Afghanistan will also affect peace in Pakistan.
“Extortion and suicide attacks have started in the country.”
The statement from the former federal minister came after the government filed references against the PTI chairman in prohibited funding and Toshakhana cases.
The Federal Investigation Agency has also launched a probe into the illegal funding and has summoned senior PTI leaders to appear before it.
The government is tightening the noose around PTI after the ECP ruling in the prohibited funding case and a smear campaign against the military following the Balochistan helicopter crash in which six military personnel embraced martyrdom.
Warning the ruling alliance in a series of tweets, Sheikh Rasheed said that the economic collapse, political instability, increasing extortion and terrorism incidents will bury their politics.
He further said that China is thinking well of Pakistan and the rulers should understand its signals and don't make Independence Day a day of destruction.
“Arresting Imran Khan or planning to break PTI will be the start of bloody politics.”
He said their agenda is to disqualify Imran Khan and make Nawaz Sharif eligible.

By closing time on Wednesday, the greenback was being traded at Rs205.50 in the interbank. Exchange Companies Association of Pakistan General Secretary Zafar Paracha attributed the international currency's fall to the possibility of the IMF releasing two combined tranches of around $1.85 billion instead of the initially expected single tranche of around $1bn.

The head office of the Election Commission of Pakistan. -Geo News screengrab ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) is expected to announce the verdict in the PTI foreign funding case this week as pressure mounts on the constitutional body from the ruling alliance after the explosive Financial Times article on the Imran Khan-led party's funding.
