Allah Mujey Sheikh Rasheed Jaisa Kamyab Siastan Na Banay. (I pray from Allah to not to make me a successful politician like Sheikh Rasheed). This timeless statement was spoken by PTI chief Imran Khan Niazi, and recorded forever by the eyes of camera, when Sheikh Rasheed the chief of AML taunted him in live talk show about his failure as politician. Imran Khan’s basic premises in coming to the politics of Pakistan is to go traditional way and keep upholding the principled politics without compromising on the principles. After getting popularity with the help of ISI’s General r Shuja Pasha with silent backing of former army chief General Kayani, Imran Khan invited and celebrated inclusion every lota and turncoat. His biggest u-turn was when he joined hands with the Sheikh Rasheed, the discarded item from PML-N, who was a fast ally of dictator Musharraf.
After tasting exemplary and humiliating defeat in the general elections, even after extreme hubbub on the social media, Imran Khan cried hoarse of rigging, but the defeat was so visible that even his mentor Haroon Rasheed, the columnist suggested him to accept it. So much so his mentor Haroon is disturbed, that he says that Imran is finished forever. But Imran Khan has other plans and he has taken Sheikh Rasheed as his political leader now. He is playing like a fur toy in the veteran spineless politician Sheikh Rasheed. Sheikh is using him like a puppet to increase his own political height and clout. I have many PTI supporters as my friends and they all are shock watching Sheikh Rasheed taking over PTI in de factor manner.
The recent blood boil of Imran Khan about having midterm elections and agitation is idea of Sheikh Rasheed, who just want to have fun, and twist the arms of PML-N government. If Nawaz Sharif today send message to Sheikh Rasheed to join PML-N and become minister or advisor, Sheikh would sell even himself to accept that. Sheikh Rashed is not aiming at something big, very big which he never dreamed of. He has told his establishment masters that he is the person to leash the PML-N and Sharifs and can also tackle PPP or any other party. He has told them that he would be the perfect puppet premier for them, and his test has begun.
