Sheikh Rashid vows to remove encroachments from the Railways land

KARACHI: Railways Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed has expressed the commitment that the encroachments on the railways land will be removed at every cost.
Talking to newsmen at the Railways office here on Monday, Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said that revolutionary steps are being taken for Pakistan Railways.
He said that passenger and freight trains are being privatized for better services, whereas new signal systems are also being introduced in Pakistan Railways. He said 10.5 billion rupees have been allocated for Karachi Circular Railways and the provincial government of Sindh is providing full cooperation for the project.
He claimed that former prime minister Nawaz Sharif has decided to spend the rest of his life in London. He said that Nawaz Sharif should have returned to the country after court orders. “Sharif has choked his politics by himself,” he added.
The minister questioned former prime minister to reveal how many donations he received from Osama Bin Laden and who was behind character assassination of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto.
Opposition parties can achieve nothing through their APC, Sheikh Rasheed said and added that Prime Minister Imran Khan has strong nerves and the government and Pakistan Army are on the same page.
Holding money launderers responsible for the increasing inflation in the country, he claimed that whoever looted the national exchequer will go in jail till December 31. Rashid said that PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto can play a positive role in Pakistan’s politics.
Last week, Railways Minister Sheikh Rasheed had said that both, JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman and PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari held one-on-one meetings with Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa.
“Fazlur Rehman had met the army chief in a one-on-one meeting,” he had said and further challenged that he was ready to divulge details of a one-on-one meeting between the two in Lahore if Maulana continued to deny his meeting. – TLTP
