Sheikh Rashid announces Railways mobile app, but people believe he is taking credit for PML-N’s work
Railways Minister Sheikh Rashid announced on Twitter that the ministry will introduce a mobile app to facilitate the travelers and people are calling him out for crediting someone else’s work to his name.

This is what Sheikh Rashid said:

As soon as he tweeted this, several Twitter users responded claiming that the app was launched by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz’s Saad Rafique during his time as the minister.

Even a Sheikh Rasheed supporter says the app existed before and said credit should be given where due. Fair Play.

But let us just give Sheikh Rashid and Railways Ministry benefit of the doubt. Maybe they are launching a new app or just introducing upgrades to an already existing one?
