Federal Minister for Railways, Sheikh Rasheed, on Saturday expressed his thoughts that the ongoing developments are going in favour of Prime Minister Imran Khan. Sheikh Rasheed, in his latest statement, said it is not a new story to tell the exact time of [former prime minister] Nawaz Sharif's departure.

Pointing aims at Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Fazl (JUI-F) chief, Rasheed added Azadi March was the first-ever sit-in lodged by Maulana Fazlur Rehman's followers which failed to get public attention. He predicted that JUI-F will witness fall of seats in the next election as Fazl's politics have ended. Rasheed said that JUI-F led sit-in was the first sit-in which had been lodged in accordance with the law but the recent steps being taken by the politico-religious party are unlawful. He said that Azadi March caused a major dent to Kashmir cause.

Earlier, Sheikh Rasheed had claimed that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz supremo Nawaz Sharif's family will have to submit surety bonds to get his name removed from the Exit Control List (ECL). Talking to journalists, Sheikh Rasheed said that the ousted prime minister's family will also have to give time-frame for his stay abroad for treatment.
