Same company laundered Zardari, Sharifs’ money, says Sh Rashid

HASSANABDAL: Awami Muslim League chief and Minister for Railways said on Wednesday that the same company laundered the money of former president Asif Ali Zardari and former prime minister Nawaz Sharif.

He said both the PML-N and PPP are hands in glove with each other. "On April 15, I would reveal the name of company which is involved in money laundering of both Asif Zardari and Nawaz Sharif.

“The company of moneylaundering of both these leaders is the same, " Sheikh Rashid claimed. He also said that by June 30 of the current year, all thieves belonging to political parties would be sent to jails. "It is my political analysis,” the minister added. Because of war tension the plan of sending thieves got delayed. He believed that Zardari would return the money, however, it is observed the PML-N leaders would stitch pockets in their coffins to take money in their graves, the minister said. Sheikh Rashid was all praise for Imran Khan saying he was a more truthful person than he. Talking about Indian PM, the minister said the agenda of Modi is based against Pakistan and Kashmir. Modi's policies might divide India into different parts, the minister said.

He said that the government has decided in principle to launch a project for up-gradation of Gurdwara Panja Saheb and the work on this plan would be initiated soon.

Minister for Railways Sheikh Rashid said this while talking to media persons at the Hassanabdal Railway Station visiting to review the arrangements made for arrival of Sikh Yatrees on April 14. The minister said that an amount of Rs250 million would be spent on the construction of boundary wall across Panja Saheb. Similarly, Rs180 million would be spent on up-gradation of Nankana Saheb on 12th November. Referring to the presence of encroachments across railway station, Sheikh Rashid said that an operation would be launched against it and all types of encroachments across this railway station would be removed by March next year. "We would implement measures for improvement and renovation of Railway Station, Hassanabdal which would be converted into a model and historic one," he said.
