ISLAMABAD: Former interior minister and chief Awami Muslim League (AML) Sheikh Rashid Ahmed made an impassioned plea for justice to Chief Justice of Pakistan hours after the law-enforcers raided his Islamabad house in the wee hours of Wednesday.
In a video message posted on Twitter shortly after accusing Rangers of raiding his house along with the Islamabad Police, former prime minister Imran Khan’s close aide said that his life was in danger with three men already engaged to eliminate him. Rashid reiterated that he had nothing to do with the Al-Qadir Trust case. The former interior minister said that if he had any information on the matter, he would appear before the anti-graft watchdog to be “martyred”.
The AML chief questioned how a common man would survive in this country when the state and politics will “stoop this low”. He appealed to CJP Bandial for justice, claiming that “after the Almighty, only the Supreme Court and the CJP were now the nation’s hope”.
According to Rashid, troops of the paramilitary force and Islamabad Police broke into his house in Islamabad’s Sector F-7 in the wee hours of Wednesday.
Earlier, the former interior minister alleged that the law-enforcement authorities had been raiding the houses of his brothers, sisters, nephews and even deceased mother for the past 20 days while three men have been engaged to eliminate him.
