Federal Minister for Railways Sheikh Rashid has predicted "tough times ahead" for Prime Minister Imran Khan as politics will get "fierce" after Ramazan. "The prime minister will have to make tough decisions in the next one or two months," said the minister, while speaking to media after inaugurating a sanitization spray gate at the Rawalpindi Railway Station on Tuesday.
He added that it had been two years since the prime minister assumed office and now he must be aware of all matters related to the country's governance. Talking about Jahangir Tareen, Railways minister said, "if [Tareen] says that no notification was issued then he must be right."
"Jahangir Tareen is an important man," he added.
Rashid said that there were no two groups in government. "Imran Khan just changed the fielding positions of his players," he added. Rashid was of the view that the FIA inquiry report about recent wheat and sugar crisis was released "before time", it would have been better, if it had been issued on April 25.
The Railways minister said the sugar and flour crises "sidelined novel coronavirus", predicting that politics in Pakistan would be in full swing after Ramazan.
The ball was now in the federal government's court and it was Imran Khan's test that what sort of action he would take against those who have been held responsible for the sugar and flour crises in the report, the railways minister said.
