From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shaikh Rasheed Ahmad (Urdu: شیخ رشید احمد ) or Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed was born in Rawalpindi on November 6, 1950, has been elected as an independent candidate for his sixth term as Member of National Assembly of Pakistan. He is affiliated with the Pakistan Muslim League (Q).
He is presently Federal Minister for Railways of Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
A businessman by profession, Sheikh Rasheed Ahmad completed an M.A degree in Political Science from University of Punjab in 1995. He holds the office of Senior Vice President of [PML(Q)] and has served as Federal Minister for Industries, Federal Minister for Labour, Manpower and Overseas Pakistanis; Federal Minister for Toursim, Sports and Culture, Federal Minister for Information and Media Development and Federal Minister of Railways.
He has also been a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee. His hobbies include exercising and reading. Conspiracy's say that he use to be a pimp for the military and is not male. He has been successful in winning his seat for nearly two decades now only because he is outspoken and he knows how to tackle with thoughts and minds of poor uneducated people in general. In various ministries he has been pretty much unsuccessful but various parties used him to get one rawalpindi seat. He became lotta <sic> recently after defecting form PMLN and by joining PML Q. rather interestingly he is still bachelor in his later 40's and above mentioned claims seems to be pretty much true. It is widely believed that he wasn't really a businessman but picked by PMLN first for one constituency in Rawalpindi which he won. The only good about him is that he knows his people and he has been iconic leader for them, he has been there when needed by his constituents but over all he is complete nuisance to have in parliament.
