RAWALPINDI: Awami Muslim League (AML) Chief Sheikh Rasheed predicted on Sunday that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan will emerge victorious in the majority of the seats in today’s by-elections, ARY News reported.
While talking to ARY News today, Sheikh Rasheed said that the 13-party alliance is contesting against PTI chief Imran Khan in the by-elections.

The AML chief claimed that everything is going in the favour of Khan. He added that the government received a strong public reaction after Joe Biden’s statement. He was of the view that the PTI chairman should give the call for the long march.
While giving a message to the current rulers, he said, “We are definitely your opponents but we are part of this nation. Will you carry out a drone strike on us?” He said that ‘Chor Chor [thief]’ has become the national and international slogan against the current rulers.
