Federal minister for Railways Sheikh Rasheed claimed on Tuesday that Nawaz Sharif was seeking an NRO for his daughter Maryam Nawaz while Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari was not interested in cutting any deal for Bilawal.

Speaking in Rawalpindi, the minister said that that there would be a crackdown against the looters before March 2020. “Even after March if they manage to escape then only God can save Pakistan,” he said. “The nation voted for Imran Khan for accountability against the looters. Those stole national resources are traitors,” he declared.

Rashid said that the reason behind the country’s current economic crisis was the presence of ‘vultures’ in the political structure. “Those who looted Pakistan are being respected and no one cares for those who gave sacrifices for the country. But the nation now knows who is a thief. And they know they are carting protocol,” he added. He further said that a case should be lodged against former prime minister Nawaz Sharif for allegedly attacking a media outlet’s cameraman. He appealed to the Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Justice Mian Saqib Nisar to take notice of the case.
