Speaking at a joint press conference with MNA Jamshed Dasti in Multan on Wednesday, the AML leader said deposed prime minister Nawaz Sharif’s party members were not happy with the policy of confrontation with the state institutions.
"Of these around 60 members of the National Assembly – 20 to 25 belong to the impoverished southern Punjab region."

Rasheed said today the word “Na Ahel” (disqualified) precedes Sharif’s name throughout the world.
“No country had opposed Nawaz Sharif’s ouster [as the prime minister]… only Nawaz Sharif kept on asking ‘Mujhay Kyun Nikala’ [Why I was ousted],” he added.
Rasheed said the deposed premier did not even allow his younger brother, Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif, to head the party despite being disqualified from becoming a parliamentarian.
The biggest conspiracy against democracy, the AML chief said, were ‘five families’, adding that Shehbaz Sharif’s Hudaibiya Paper Mills case was the ‘mother of all crimes’, which if opened will sink the Sharif family.

Rasheed went on to say the country was destroyed economically as Finance Minister Ishaq Dar has practically shelved the ministry, adding that Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi was looking for a new finance minister.
He vowed to reveal more ‘important news’ in the upcoming Muzaffargarh and Multan rallies.
