Sheikh Rashid on mission united Opposition for PM resignation

ISLAMABAD - Panama Papers case verdict announced by the Supreme Court of Pakistan has on one side given a sigh of relief to the Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for the time being and on the other hand opened another Pandora box in the form of a commission to further investigate the matter.

All opposition parties have demanded the resignation of the Prime Minister of Pakistan after the court verdict and Sheikh Rashid Ahmed has taken the centre stage in uniting the opposition.

Awami Muslim League (AML) Chief Sheikh Rasheed Ahmad on Friday has taken the responsibility of bringing opposition parties on one platform as he is all set to meet Jamat-e-Islami (JI) Chairman Siraj-ul-Haq in the evening.

Exclusively talking to Dunya News, Sheikh Rasheed said that he has taken charge to gather opposition leaders in protest against Prime Minister (PM) Nawaz Sharif. He said that opposition needs to put pressure on PM for his resignation.

AML chief announced that he will be meeting Siraj-ul-Haq at Lal Haveli in the evening to take him into confidence regarding strategies against the premier.

“Will also contact leadership of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP),” he asserted. 

Earlier today, the opposition parties unanimously demanded Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to step down from the post till completion of probe by the Joint Investigation Team.
