The opposition has set a wrong date for the long march: Sheikh Rasheed

The Interior Minister of Pakistan Sheikh Rasheed Ahmad took a dig at the long march call of opposition coalition parties saying that PDM’s decision of mehgayi march on Pakistan Day is wrong therefore the date must be changed as routes to Islamabad will be closed before March 23.

Federal Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed in a press conference in Islamabad said, “the opposition called for a long march on Pakistan Day as it is a national issue therefore I invite the opposition to think about it. Some routes in Islamabad will be closed because of 23rd March parade. The opposition has set a wrong date for the long march.”

Sheikh Rasheed said that in NA 133 by-election, PML-N candidate Shaista Pervez took only 10% of the votes. Maulana Fazl ur Rehman has ulterior motives and can be a good singer only.
