ISLAMABAD: Former interior minister Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed declared on Sunday that PTI Chairman Imran Khan will issue a call for a march on Islamabad once the floodwaters subside, lashing out at the coalition government over rising inflation and its alleged plan to impose additional taxes worth Rs608 billion on the general public.
The Awami Muslim League (AML) leader’s declaration comes a day after Imran Khan threatened to return with his followers to the federal capital if the PM Shehbaz Sharif-led government continued to “persecute” party members with legal proceedings at a public gathering in Gujrat.
“The IMF and the government reached yet another agreement for the collection of Rs608 billion. The former interior minister declared, “First they raided the national treasury, and now they’re looking to take people’s pockets.
Sheikh Rasheed stated that the flash floods in Sindh have “opened the eyes” of the locals to the situation with the flooding there. The Pakistan Democratic Movement’s (PDM) reputation has been tarnished, he claimed.
