Former Interior Minister and Awami Muslim League Chief Sheikh Rashid Ahmad has asked Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to create a charter of democracy rather than an economic charter, warning the ruling elite that politicians will be targeted if political conflict erupts in the country.
Rashid wrote on Twitter, “Shahbaz Sharif must make a democratic charter instead of an economic charter.” Decide on a date for transparent elections and leave the decision to the people. 140 million intelligent young people have mobile phones in their pockets. Poverty affects 10 crore people. Politicians will be targeted if the political conflict escalates. Delays in elections will be the end of democracy.
شہبازشریف میثاق معیشت کی بجائے میثاق جمہوریت کریں۔شفاف الیکشن کی تاریخ طےکریں اور فیصلہ قوم پر چھوڑ دیں۔140ملین باشعور نوجوانوں کی جیب میں موبائل فون ہے۔10کروڑ لوگ غربت کے شکنجے میں آگئے ہیں۔سیاسی تصادم بڑھ گیا تو سیاست دان بھی نشانے پرہونگے۔الیکشن میں تاخیر جمہوریت کی موت ہوگی.

“The nation understands that the illness of Nawaz Sharif and Asif Ali Zardari is an excuse to run away. It does not matter whether coward Nawaz Sharif comes or does not come now, whether he is eligible or ineligible, it does not matter now. His (Zardari’s) illness in Saudi Arabia and his (Nawaz’s) illness in London are a political charade. The real faces of the politicians who have destroyed the economy have been exposed in public.”
