Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Rana Sanaullah Friday said he is filing a reference for disqualification of Railways Minister Sheikh Rashid from keeping any public office.
In a video message on social media, the former Punjab law minister hit out at the Awami Muslim League (AML) chief. “He is a fraud, who has kept himself under wraps … his true identity will be revealed in a medical examination,” he remarked.
Sanaullah said he was sending the disqualification reference to the National Assembly speaker so that he can forward it to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP). He claimed the railways minister had established a ‘fake’ training camp in the name of Kashmir cause. “In reality, he himself is the real owner of the benami (anonymous) property,” he added.
The PML-N stalwart said his three-point application highlights Sh Rashid’s alleged betrayal of Kashmiris and their cause, running gambling dens, extorting the masses and illegally establishing properties in the name of his nephews and nieces.
Demanding his disqualification as MNA, Rana Sanaullah said Sh Rashid was a ‘liar’ and a ‘dishonest’ person, whose presence undermined the sanctity of the parliament.
