After an investigation was undertaken by the police, however, it was revealed that what Javeed had assumed to be gun shots was actually the sound of his vehicle’s tyres that had burst after hitting a stone on the roadside.

Following the conclusions drawn by the police report, Nusrat Javeed once again took to Twitter to apologize for his trauma-induced paranoia that had been triggered owing to his history with the ruling party.

Sheikh Rashid Ahmed

The Minister for Railways, Sheikh Rashid Ahmad briefly stirred a controversy on Saturday evening when he claimed that the Prime Minister had offered him the Information and Broadcasting portfolio. Taking a jibe at the Minister for Information Fawad Chaudhry, Ahmad stated, ““I told him (PM Imran Khan) to let Fawad return from London where he’s on an eight-day picnic.”

However, once news channels began quoting Ahmad’s remarks, it turned out that his claims did not have any truth to them.

On his part, Fawad Chaudhry tweeted that if asked, he would be happy to vacate his position in favour of Sheikh Rashid.
