Federal Minister for Railways Sheikh Rashid Ahmed on Saturday said all political parties are on the same page regarding the Kashmir issue, and maintained that Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rahman will join him in Kashmir march. The railways minister said that solution of Kashmir issue through bilateral talks is in interest of both countries, he added.
Talking about Pakistan politics, Sheikh Rashid said some well-wishers of erstwhile president Asif Ali Zardari are talking about deal, and urged Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) to adopt the same approach. Prime Minister Imran Khan will not give an NRO to anyone at any cost, he proclaimed. Shaeikh Rashid claimed that PML-N is going to be divided into two parts in centre, and he cannot predict whether Shahbaz Sharif will lead the 'PML-N-II' or Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan. I have already said that Shahbaz Sharif is a 'person of my party,' the minister commented.
Rashid announced to reduce fare of Jinnah Express by Rs 500 from September 6, and to inaugurate Bahawalpur Railway Station on the same day. Rains in Sindh impaired the railway system and the downpours damaged freight trains more than passenger train, he told.
