SUKKUR: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz Khyber Pakh­tunkhwa president Ameer Muqam met with Pakistan Peoples Party senior leader Syed Khursheed Ahmed Shah at his special cell in NICVD here on Sunday.

A press release issued by PML-N Sukkur said that Muqam told media persons after the meeting that thieves of flour, sugar and drugs were enjoying full freedom in the country but the people like Khursheed Shah and Shahbaz Sharif who had always worked selflessly for the development of the country and played a positive role in bringing about national reconciliation had been locked up.

He avoided commenting on a statement of federal interior minister Shaikh Rasheed Ahmed and said that Shaikh was a mighty astrologer and he could not comment on his predictions.

He said that all the parties in the Pakistan Democratic Move­ment (PDM) agreed on one-point agenda of sending Imran Khan packing. “Our struggle will continue till we force him out,” he said.

He said that this prime minister and his ministers only enjoyed having joyrides in flag mounted vehicles but they had no capacity to resolve peoples’ problems neither did they take peoples’ issues seriously.

Muqam said that decisions against opposition parties’ leaders came briskly but the decision on foreign funding case against Imran Khan was taking ages to come. Why this decision had not been declared even after a lapse of several years, he asked.

He said that the PDM would hold a protest against it outside the office of Election Commission of Pakistan on Jan 19 to mount pressure for announcement of decision in this case so that every citizen could know from where such a huge amount of money flowed into 17 or 18 accounts, who sent this money and to what end.

He said that the PDM had unanimously decided to take part in by-elections.
