People who keep their money and children abroad should not be given a chance to rule the country, said Awami Muslim League’s Sheikh Rasheed said on Friday.
“They have made their sons tigers by feeding them with illegal money,” the AML chief said while addressing the public in Multan. “Our daughters give birth on the roads, while they live in palaces.”
He said this while criticising the health care system in Punjab after women gave birth outside the hospital room in three different instances, two in Lahore and one in Faisalabad.
The corrupt rulers have left the people to die on unemployment, Rasheed said. “Are people of this country insects?”
He claimed that as many as 25 Members of National Assembly (MNAs) from PML-N are ready to resign from party membership. The opposition member believes that the ruling party has a large number of disgruntled leaders within who will soon distance themselves from the issues related to Sharif family. His advise to military leadership doesn t come as a surprise keeping in view that he has remained a staunch critic of the PML-N government.
He lashed out at the elected representatives saying they are only focused on making money through corruption and increasing their assets. Sheikh Rasheed said that those who promised food, houses and clothes didn’t even give people graveyards.
He spoke on the issues of poverty and high unemployment rate in the country. The lawmaker from Rawalpindi stressed that the elected rulers treat the people like insects.
While referring to meetings of National Security Committee that have been attended by Finance Minister Ishaq Dar despite him being under trial, Rasheed said a country is bound to struggle with survival if meetings pertaining to its security are attended by corrupt politicians.
Sheikh Rasheed announced to hit the roads for sit-ins and protests on December 25. He said that he will call a large number of people to demand their rights and bring out rulers from their mansions.
