Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed
Campaigners fighting for votes will inescapably defy public scrutiny during choices, asserted Sheikh Rashid, former innards minister and leader of the Awami Muslim League (AML).

He underlined that the situation had entwined out of control for numerous, emphasizing the genuine concern lies in the precarious profitable conditions faced by the population.
Sheikh Rashid Drawing on his expansive experience in electoral contests since nonage, Rashid remarked that the essential sentiments and vigor needed for general choices were specially absent among the people.
Despite the upcoming election campaign, set to commence on the 10th, Rashid remained confident in his alliance with Allah, expressing optimism about victory in both Rawalpindi constituencies.
He identified the election symbols of Kalam and Dawat (pen and inkpot) as the harbingers of success in the impending elections.
