    Pakistan cannot compromise on nuclear assets, Sheikh Rashid

    Canada Global (Web News) Sheikh Rashid Ahmed, the leader of the Awami Muslim League (AML), applauded the government’s declarations on Friday that it could not compromise on the nation’s nuclear assets despite barriers to unlocking the IMF programme.

    Ishaq Dar, the finance minister, had promised the legislature the day before that the administration would not compromise on the nuclear and missile programmes. Additionally, he said that after it was signed, the deal with the IMF would be posted on his ministry’s website.

    The former interior minister wrote on Twitter, “Country can sacrifice itself but cannot compromise on nuclear assets. He claimed that the government had appealed the decision to revoke his bail and that he was prepared to return to custody if that happened.

    Sheikh Rashid claimed that the IMF’s main requirement for the friendly states to sign the staff-level agreement, an assurance of $6 billion for external funding, was not being met. He bemoaned how the government was raising the cost of petrol and electricity.

    He added that looters and guardians could not be on the same page and claimed that the unrest in Lahore has affected the entire province of Punjab.

    Sheikh Rashid warns of ‘civil war’ if anything happens to Imran Khan

    Canada Global (Web News) Sheikh Rashid, the leader of the Awami Muslim League, declared on Tuesday that if Imran Khan, the leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, was attacked, there would be civil war in the nation.

    If the chairman of PTI faced any hostile action, he claimed, the people would not overthrow the current federal government.

    Elections, according to Mr. Rashid, are the only means of resolving the country’s crisis because the current coalition government was not approved by the general populace.

    He stated that in order for the nation to move in the right route, it was the institutions’ duty to put forth effort for the elections.

    Lahore High Court grants bail to Sheikh Rashid

    Canada Global (Web News) Sheikh Rashid Ahmed, the leader of the Awami Muslim League (AML), was granted bail by the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Thursday in a case involving claims that Asif Ali Zardari was involved in a murder conspiracy.

    Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani issued the verdict reserved earlier in the day after hearing arguments from Barrister Salman Akram Raja, the attorney representing the former interior minister, and Islamabad Advocate General Jahangir Khan Jadoon in the case. The AML director must present surety bonds totaling Rs. 50,000, under the court’s decision.

    The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and the Pakistan Peoples Party clashed when Sheikh Rashid made a statement that was carried on TV channels, according to Mr. Raja, who claimed there was no proof of this during the hearing (PPP).

    The government attorney advised the AML-chief to speak out with additional caution because he is a senior lawyer. Asif Zardari and his son Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, he claimed, had been publically humiliated by Sheikh Rashid.

    At which point, Mr. Raja argued that the attorney general was making pointless arguments.

    The Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra), according to a case investigation officer, provided details of Sheikh Rashid’s statement to the court. He further stated that Sheikh Rashid claimed to have learned of the alleged assassination plan against Asif Zardari from PTI Chairman Imran Khan. He claimed that the AML chief was unable to back up his claims with facts.
