Sheikh Rashid Ahmed, leader of Awami Muslim League (AML) and a former interior minister, filed a petition with the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Saturday to stop his move from Islamabad to Karachi.
According to information, Sheikh Rasheed’s attorney Sardar Abdul Razzaq Khan submitted the plea in the case of accusations made against former president Asif Zardari.
Sheikh Rasheed claimed that he was referring to the remarks made by PTI chairman Imran Khan, who claimed that PPP co-chairman had plotted his assassination.
His statement had no immediate impact on the complaint, but he encouraged the court to refrain from hearing any other cases based on political utterances.
Additionally, Sheikh Rasheed halts the legal actions brought against him in Aabpara, Murree, and Karachi.
In order to wait for the outcome of this case, he asked the court to halt his relocation to Karachi.
