LAHORE: Federal Railways Minister Sheikh Rasheed today (Saturday) has asserted that India’s Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) could target prominent politicians in the country.
The statement came soon after Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi and DG Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) “irrefutable evidence” of India’s sponsorship of terrorism in the country.
In a statement, Sheikh Rasheed claimed that India wants to weaken the country internally and does not want the Chine-Pakistan Economic Corridor to succeed. “Since India cannot harm the country’s forces on the border, New Delhi will resort to staging terrorist activities in the country,” he added.
Talking about the recent statements by PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif, the federal minister claimed that the statements have left Nawaz and Shehbaz ‘politically paralysed’. “Meanwhile, Maryam is using the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) platform to speak as a last resort,” he added.
The railways minister maintained that not everyone in PDM is in agreement with Nawaz’s narrative and the Pakistan People Party (PPP) will not stay with PML-N.
He also praised Prime Minister Imran Khan’s performance, saying that despite Covid-19 pandemic, the premier was bringing economic stability and the incumbent government has the complete support of the Pakistan Army.
“PTI will also form a government in Gilgit-Baltistan,” he claimed, adding that the people of the northern region will cast their votes on Sunday. “Whatever decision is taken by the people will form the backbone of CPEC,” he concluded.
