He advised the rulers to respect the decision of Supreme Court as it “is a matter of life and death for democracy in Pakistan.” “Those who are trying to evade elections, should be tried by the Supreme Court,” Sheikh Rashid added.
The former minister came hard on the rulers who “are concerned about their politics and not the state.”
“Country’s survival is in elections. The government should make national interest and stability its top priority instead of its own interest,” Sheikh Rashid wrote.
