RAWALPINDI: Minister for Interior Sheikh Rashid Ahmed on Friday said that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) would split into three political parties soon.

“Next 120 days are important in the politics of the country. Imran Khan will win next general elections and PML-N will divide into three parties,” he said this while talking to media after inaugurating new block of Rawalpindi Women University.

Talking about women university, the minister said that it was his mission to complete the development projects in education sector in his life.
