Not that we needed any more proof but after today, Sheikh Rasheed is Boss AF. Riding a motorbike, taking a news channel van hostage, addressing the reporters while lighting a cigar, scurrying away from the audience  and finally making his way to Laal Haveli – suffice to say, today was a damn fine day for political entertainment. The capital has never been more alive.

News anchors proceeded to dub this as a “DABANGG* entry” and we couldn’t help but be equally amused.

(*cringing so hard at that word, though)

Sheikh Rasheed then proceeded to post a video giving proof of his dauntless bravery.

“Stop me if you can”

Sheikh Rasheed’s antics, despite the Islamabad lockdown, has people singing hymns of his bravery, so much so that this whole episode might have won him a cult fan following.

The legend, in flesh and bone.
