How to be Sheikh Rashid (in 11 easy steps)

How to be Sheikh Rashid (in 11 easy steps)

The most important rule? Always, always, always carry a cigar
29 Oct, 2016

Did we just witness a 007 moment yesterday? Because Lal Haveli looked like a scene from James Bond.

Who needs push-ups when you have a man who can outdo law enforcement, right? And no, we're not talking about Salman Ahmad and his narrow escape from the police, we're talking about the new bada** in town, Sheikh Rashid.

Now that the Awami Muslim League leader is the new icon who has taken the internet by storm, here's how you too can be Sheikh Rashid in 11 easy steps:

1) Make a promise and stick to it:

2) Have a punchy tagline/comeback ready when attempting a master feat:

3) Have a getaway car on standby, one that your opponents will never suspect you to travel in:

4) Make your escape via the shadiest route possible:

The more peechay kee gallis the better.

5) Have a bhangra-style entrance ready:

6) Podium? That's old school brah. Make your speeches from atop a van:

7) Always, always, always carry a cigar, because you've gotta show 'em who's boss:

8) Throw in a victory sign, because the government hates those:

9) Add a rap for the new Ke$ha generation:

10) Top off your look with a topi:

11) And finally, give love where it's due:

How can the commentators below glorify a man who has occupied land illegally. Whether the current action is politically motivated has no bearing on the fundamental fact that the man has illegally occupied and encroached upon land which is not his--period! Please stop glorifying lawlessness however theatrically it has been carried out.

@Jibboo The comment section is only applauding him because of his affiliation with the PTI dharna. Had he been pro-government, I'm sure we'd be hearing tales of his many crimes.

I remember him from the Suez Canal protest days (1950s)!. In Rawalpindi we used to march with college and school students - he from Gordon College and I from Government College, but marching together. The world is so small. Now he smokes Cuban cigars, in the capital twin cities of Pakistan and I enjoy maple syrup in Quebec, thousands of miles away, but still enjoying his theatrics, taunts and jokes!

@sana-1 our generation is much better than the last, thank you very much. At least we are not happy being mediocre and are aspiring to do better. And this utopian view of "another country", is always surprising to me. I guess you forgot about Trump glorifying war crimes during his speech without any serious blowback. Immoral laws should be opposed, a law is not automatically sacred.

Shaikh Rasheed a leader of masses,he speaks simple language of street but no bad words,he is loved by poor people ,middle class,upper mid class,and elite,he is honest,bold,brave,and a true politician,but extremely loyal to motherland. The PML(N) leaders put all their efforts to stop him,but Shaikh is brilliant valiant he used his minimum leverage,and geniously planned a way in and way out, and kept his word. Great job. The people of Pakistan have full confidence in Shaikh Sahab,and his trust sustained to more heights.Good luck Shaikh Sahab,keep it up.
