KARACHI: Awami Muslim League president Sheikh Rashid Ahmed has said peace in the metropolis was restored not due to the government’s efforts but due to the army and other security agencies.

He said that with the verdict of Panama case, accountability has started in the country and now no one would dare get away with corruption.

Talking to the media at a hotel here on Sunday, he said politicians had started making alliances as elections were approaching fast and he was foreseeing many of them changing their parties.

In reply to a question, he said the political future of Nawaz Sharif was bleak.
