A law enforcement agency has raided the media centre of former interior minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmad in connection with the PTI workers’ sloganeering at the holy site of Masijid-e-Nabvi in Medina against the visiting Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and his Umrah delegation, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Sunday.

Reportedly, the media centre of former interior minister situated in a house in Sector F7-4 was raided by a law enforcement agency on Saturday night. Sh Rashid confirmed the news that his media centre was swooped. 

“Last night, officials of a law enforcement agency raided my media centre. But they left without making any arrest,” Rashid added.

Earlier today, the FIA arrested Sh Rashid’s nephew who landed at Islamabad Airport after performing Umrah. 

An FIR has also been registered against PTI Chief Imran Khan, Sh Rashid, Shehbaz Gill, Qasim Suri, Anil Musarrat, Ijazul Haq and 100 other unknown persons in Faisalabad alleging their role in orchestrating an anti-PM Shehbaz’s protest and sloganeering at the holy Masjid-e-Nabvi in Medina.

Sh Rashid’s role in the Medina incident was suspected as the former minister hinted during his press conference a few days ago regarding the happening of this shameful act. 

“See what the people will do (to PM and his companions) when they reach there for Umrah,” he told the media.

Sh Rashid also came back from Saudi Arabia recently after performing Umrah there during which he also visited Medina.
