Sheikh Muhammad Tahir Rasheed - Political Career - 2005

2005

Tahir Rasheed was one of the few people in the PML N who were trying to convince the senior leadership of the PML N to stop supporting the PPP in the ARD as they believed the PPP was not sincere with PML-N and had been taking an advantage of the PML-N to achieve their own objectives and capture the PML-N vote bank.

In August, 2005, he decided to join the Pakistan Muslim League due to differences with the party policies and because his supporters were finding it difficult to adjust with the PPP in the ARD.

Tahir Rasheed was followed by ex-Punjab Food Minister Hafiz Iqbal Khakwani, ex-MNA Syed Javed Ali Shah, sitting MPA Syed Mujahid Ali Shah, PML-N ex-MPA DR Khalid Khokhar and the son of ex-MPA Sheikh Amir Khalil to join PML.
