RAWALPINDI: Former interior minister and ally of ousted PM Imran Khan, Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed, on Sunday announced ‘jail bharo (fill jail) movement’ against the toppling of the PTI-led federal government.
Addressing the protestors outside Lal Haveli in Rawalpindi, Sheikh Rasheed said he salutes the masses who are supporting Imran Khan. He said it was his 16th ministry in the PTI-led government and added that he has advised Imran Khan to collective resignation from the assembly.
Sheikh Rasheed’s Awami Muslim League (AML) was ally of the PTI-led federal government, which was removed by the joint opposition through a no-confidence motion.
The former interior minister recalled that he asked Imran Khan to impose an emergency in the country after dissolving the National Assembly.
Pumped-up Sheikh Rasheed announced to call him Shehbaz Sharif if he fails to remove the ‘imported government’. He said that the country is heading toward civil war and called for immediate elections in the country.
It is pertinent to mention here that Imran Khan was ousted as prime minister (PM) as the no-confidence motion moved by opposition parties against him succeeded on Sunday night.
