Rashid denies rumours that he won’t join the PTI’s lengthy march.
Sheikh Rashid, a former interior minister, urged people on Thursday to fully participate in the long march that is set for tomorrow in an effort to dispel rumours that he wouldn’t.
The former minister urged the people to make the march one that heralds the nation’s true freedom in a video message shared to his official Twitter account as the heads of the nation’s top intelligence agency and the media’s military arm spoke at an unusual news conference.
In addition, the former minister declared that he will make a “important” press conference today at 5 o’clock to support the long march and to pay tribute to journalist Arshad Sharif, who was assassinated.
The former minister added that the “situation” in Islamabad was unsuitable for him and that he had arrived in Lahore early to take part in Imran Khan’s lengthy march. The statement was made a few days after Rashid claimed that while he was in Rawalpindi, the Islamabad police had raided his home.
