People of Pakistan will take right decision at appropriate time: Sheikh Rasheed

Rawalpindi: Awami Muslim League (AML) chief and senior politician Sheikh Rasheed on Thursday said that the people of the country will take the right decision at the right time no matter who is appointed as interim prime minister.

The former interior minister said on Twitter that the ruling coalition's laptop program, major investment, and changes to give the caretaker prime minister more authority would be ineffective because the public would stand for respect.

He claimed that while the population is dealing with surging inflation and expensive power tariffs, development initiatives would show to be insignificant.

Rasheed stated that the recent spike in electricity costs had made people's problems worse and would also cause industries to close.

According to the former minister, the coalition partners' government could be overthrown due to rising poverty and illegal constitutional violations.

Furthermore, Sheikh said that even if the caretaker regime of their choice were put in place, the ruling parties would still lose the elections.

He criticized the government for its extensive use of force against political opponents over the previous 15 months, saying that "no one can eliminate anyone unless the Higher Power does." False cases were overflowing the police stations, he claimed, and the public would soon exercise its right to vote to put an end to the fascism that was still in place.
