Sheikh Rashid was quoted as saying that the people were now sick of the “corrupt” rulers and wanted to remove them at the earliest.

He said this time the rulers would not find any place to hide. He said the longer these rulers stayed, the deeper the crisis would get.

Both the leaders condemned the terrorist attacks in Saudi Arabia. They said every Pakistani holds Saudi Arabia and its citizens in the highest esteem and respect.
