Awami Muslim League (AML) leader and PTI ally Sheikh Rashid was arrested from his residence in Rawalpindi on Sunday evening, his lawyer Sardar Abdul Razzak Khan confirmed to Dawn.com.
“Men clad in plain clothes arrested Sheikh Rashid from his residence,” he said, claiming that the former interior minister had been moved to an “undisclosed location”.
Khan said Rashid’s nephew Sheikh Shakir and houseworker Imran have also been arrested.
In a post on social media platform X, the PTI condemned Rashid’s arrest. “The political victimisation and fascism continues, this time with the arrest of Sheikh Rashid,” it said.



Rashid’s arrest comes amid the state’s crackdown on the PTI and its supporters following incidents of vandalism on May 9 — when party chairman Imran Khan was first arrested from the premises of the Islamabad High Court.
Earlier this year in June, the AML leader had alleged that the Islamabad police broke into his house and beat up his servants. He had also claimed that in a second incident, a “force clad in plain clothes” tortured his employees at his Lal Haveli residence in Rawalpindi.

Pakistani is nothing more than Afghanistan 2.0. It looks and feels like Afghanistan. However, the sad part is that in a couple of decades even Afghanistan will be ahead of us.

Afghanistan has more potential in my humble opinion.

Did they come out on the streets when the British invaded in 1842?
Did they come out on the streets when Durrani invaded?
When Ghauri invaded? When Cyrus invaded? When Mauryans invaded?

Even Raja Dahir was tolerated by the local Sindhis despite him being a tyrannical ruler. It literally took an Arab general to ally all the Buddhist city state chiefs together to fight Raja Dahir and eliminate him, otherwise if bin Qasim hadn’t come who knows how long Dahir would have ruled.

The fact is, our population has sadly always been mute in the face of tyrants. We choose to accept their rule rather than fight back.

This is why nation building is so important and teaching history is important!

If our textbooks taught us about how we did nothing in the face of tyrants, then maybe today we’d be on the street.

China does this beautifully. Since 1950, they have ingrained the idea of the “Century of Humiliation” into every Chinese. Students are taught about this from primary school…how for 100 years China was subjugated, invaded and interfered with from the West and Japan.

This is now three generations on and today look at the Chinese today. Everything in their psyche revolves around preventing another “Century of Humiliation“.

This is how nations grow. WTF has Pakistan done in the past 76 years to remove this slave like tolerance of tyrants? Nothing.

Wrong, Afghans have never been conquered, Punjabi, sindhis prefer to be slaves.
