Awami Muslim League chief and former interior minister Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed has said that he appeals to Army Chief General Asim Munir to grant amnesty on this Eid.
Talking to the media in Islamabad Court, he said that the courts have become small and the number of innocent accused is high, 80 to 90 percent of people are innocent. I appeal for the release of Alia Hamza and Sanam Javed.
Sheikh Rasheed said that the honor of the army is dear to us, but what message is being sent to the people? Those who have been released on the last short Eid were after serving a year of imprisonment.
The former interior minister said that time is getting out of hand, June is an important month, political decisions will be made in the country now.
He further said that during the Pervez Musharraf era, the investment agreements that I had signed with China have remained the same. Those who are investors are fleeing the country, who will come from outside?
