Sheikh Rasheed thinks he will be blamed if anything happens to Bilawal Bhutto Zardari

Railways Minister Sheikh Rasheed fears that he will be blamed for any attack on PPP Chairperson Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.

I get scared whenever I see his head out of a vehicle’s sunroof, he said in an exclusive interview with SAMAA TV.

On Wednesday, the PPP leaders announced that they will file a case against the Railways minister for threatening Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.

Rasheed tweeted on March 16 about Bilawal and said, “People say Bilawal is a child. Bilawal should play it safe otherwise he’ll get killed in politics”.

The PPP scion has come on the radar following his explosive remarks against the government in recent press conferences. On March 20, he claimed that the government didn’t arrest the leaders of banned outfits but took them into “protective custody” to save them from Indian jets.

“They have been taken into protective custody so that the Indian planes don’t blow them up,” Bilawal told reporters in Islamabad. He was commenting on the federal government’s recent crackdown against banned outfits, including Jaish-e-Mohammad and Jamaat-ud-Dawah.

“Bilawal Bhutto Zardari is playing on the Indian pitch,” he said. The federal minister claimed that former president Asif Ali Zardari is willing to sacrifice his own son to protect himself.

“Former PMs Nawaz Sharif and Zardari are “true criminals”. They are the biggest threat to democracy,” he remarked.

But Sindh Information Adviser Murtaza Wahab said that  Rasheed should focus on his ministry than criticising other people.

“Please tell us what have you done for the people of Karachi. When will the Karachi Circular Railway project be restored?” he asked.

The federal government has not done anything for the people after coming into power seven months ago, he accused.

The PPP also recently said it will be taking legal action against Rasheed for a Tweet he posted in which he allegedly threatened Bilawal.
