Speaking about the political situation in the country, the minister said the opposition’s alliance PDM is about to finish.
PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz is responsible for the destruction of her party, he said adding that she lacks political foresight due to which her party is suffering.
The minister said he was right about the opposition contesting by-elections and Senate polls, adding that the masses voted for the PTI for accountability of those who plundered the national wealth.
PPP has no place in the politics of Punjab while Imran Khan’s struggle will be remembered forever, Rashid concluded.
