RAWALPINDI – Awami Muslim League (AML) chief Sheikh Rashid Ahmed has purportedly accused PTI founder Imran Khan of selling his party’s ticket for NA-56 constituency for Rs30 million to his candidate Shehryar Riaz.
A video circulating on social media shows the former interior minister and former ally of Imran Khan recording his statement from a hospital bed where he was shifted after he was arrested in a case.
Sheikh Rashid can be heard saying that the former prime minister sold the ticket of NA-56 for Rs30 million.
Saying such moves could not discourage him, he said that he would win the election from this constituency.

The former minister has submitted nomination papers from NA-56 and 57 for the general elections scheduled to take place on February 8 across the country.
The PTI has also nominated candidates in various constituencies despite losing his electoral symbol bat over false intra-party elections.
