ISLAMABAD: Referring to the lettergate that caused a furore in Pakistan’s political situation, Former Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid on Friday has said that intervention is more dangerous than conspiracy.
Sheikh Rashid lambasted the newly elected government of Shehbaz Sharif and said on Twitter that a two-vote majority government would end politically in two months.
Imran Khan will announce the date of the long march in today’s Mianwali gathering, said the former interior minister.
Rashid termed the commencement of meetings by PML-N as a link to early elections adding that it was better for the current government to announce new elections before May 31.

Sheikh Rashid went on to say that it has been proved that interference is more dangerous than conspiracy as the British did in the subcontinent.
