There was no comparison between Sh Rashid & Shakeel Awan. Sh Rashid was alone, whereas his opponent belongs to the biggest opposition party member. The whole machinery of Punjab Govt was in action to support Shakeel. Moreover just before election the meeting between Nawaz Shareef & Yousuf Raza Gillani shows a conspiracy against Sh Rashid’s defeat in election. Sh Rashid has been traped by dirty politics of PML’Q, who apparently showed their support to Sh Rashid but from inside they were totally against him, same situation was with PPP, they also played dirty politics role with Sh Rashid. In other words Sh Rashid was completely alone and his opponent were PML’N.PML’Q and PPP of Zardari, in this situation only ANGELS can win the election, of course there were some mistakes done by Sh Rashid and for that mistakes he suffered in this election. The real culprits in this election are Ch Brothers who did all evil mistakes with Musharaf Govt, but the poor chap Sh Rashid become the target in this election. The slogan from PML’N that Ali Baba left but 40 thieves still remain, Sh Rashid is only one member of Alibaba group but the remaining 39 thieves still in Pakistan and enjoying their dirty politics. How ever we should not forget and ignore the good works done by Sh Rashid in Rawalpindi, specially in education sector.Sh Rashid has an open and free mouth. He never hesitate to speak the truth & reality, that’s why the corrupt National Assembly Members were afraid of him. They were all afraid whether sitting on Govt benches or opposition benches from Sh Rashid because he always show mirrior to such corrupt political members even in the assembly. Mistakes are always done by human beings, but if some one rectify it, then we must give him another chance, but the nation again done another mistake in defeating Sh Rashid in this election. Sh Rashid is not a looser in this election but he is a winner. Well done Sh Rashid once again you are the winner, keep it, be strong, you have future in this country. Keep on trying to take Pakistan from these thieves & traitors.
