ISLAMABAD: Awami Muslim League (AML) chief Sheikh Rasheed on Tuesday said that he is still willing to submit his resignation, but Pakistan
Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan has
advised him to wait for a period of one week.
Talking to a press conference, AML chief said that it does not matter whether he resigns from the parliament or not as his resignation holds no significance
.
Sheikh Rasheed also said his Dubai visit, which was for a fund raising campaign, has stirred a lot of talk in Pakistan, while he also lashed out at Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leaders Shahbaz and Nawaz Sharif calling them ‘t
hieves’.
“I went to Dubai for a fund raising campaign because Imran asked me. There has been a lot of talk about that. I can tell you that Shahbaz is a bigger thief than Nawaz,” said Sheikh Rasheed.
Refering to the war of words between PML
-N leaders Chaudhry Nisar and Pervaiz Rasheed, the AML spearhead said that he had never thought Rasheed would ridicule Nisar
.
Sheikh Rasheed had announced resignation from his seat in the National Assembly during Pakistan Awami
Tehreek (PAT)’s joint protest rally on Mall Road.
