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.

“Tonight is very important. Imran Khan will have to wait for today’s [by-elections] results before making an announcement for the long march.”

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.

آرمی چیف کے بیان کےبعد افواہیں ختم اورفوری الیکشن ہونے چاہیں۔حکومت اسلام آباد کے 25لاکھ لوگوں کو قعلہ بند کرےگی تولوگ اسلام آباد کےاندرسےاورمارگلہ کی پہاڑیوں سے نکلیں گے۔بیلٹ کےمقابلے میں بُلٹ کا استعمال سارے ملک میں سیاسی آگ لگا دےگا۔تباہ حال معیشت خطرناک بحران میں داخل ہوجائےگی
