He said he'd step down from NA in 2 hours if Imran Khan asked him.

RAWALPINDI (Dunya News) – Awami Muslim League (AML) chief Sheikh Rasheed said while rejecting Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) president Javed Hashmi’s allegations that he did not advice PTI chief Imran Khan to advance from the D-Chowk, adding that Khan’s decision to advance with Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) was correct, Dunya News reported.
Addressing a press conference, Sheikh Rasheed strongly criticized Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Fazal (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman and Pakhtunkhwa Mili Awami Party (PMAP) chief Mehmood Khan Achakzai for their speeches. He said that Achakzai’s brother is Balochistan’s governor which is why Achakzai is talking like that.
AML chief said that the ongoing sit-in protests don’t pose any threat to the democracy and constitution, adding that the government is intentionally trying to involve army in this matter.
