Azad Jammu and Kashmir Prime Minister Chaudhry Abdul Majeed and lawmakers of the AJK government on Tuesday protested in front of Parliament House in Islamabad, demanding the federal government remove Federal Minister for Kashmir Affairs Barjees Tahir from his position.

The protesting lawmakers also accused the federal government of using funds of Kashmir Council for pre-poll rigging. Majeed demanded the federal government to release funds of the Kashmir Council without any further delay. He said that their funds are being distributed among federation’s favorite people in AJK that is insult of the PM elected by the mandate of people.

Federal Minister Ahsan Iqbal assured the protesting lawmakers of AJK government that the federal government would address their grievances and a three-member committee comprising opposition leader Khurshid Shah, Ahsan Iqbal and AJK Finance Minister Chaudhry Latif Akbar would be formed to look into the issue of release of Kashmir Council funds.

  1. It is PPP in the forefront making trouble for the country in and out of Pakistan. Mr 10% sitting across the Arabia Sea and dictating the Remote controlled Sind Assembly. Headed by an ex-body-guard of Mr 10%, the Assembly passed a strange resolution last week despite severe criticism of the Opposition. And three days ago Bilawal Zardari met these AJK legislators and supported them. And an ex-PPP ambassador is working against the country in the US in collaboration with India. Not a good chance to black-list this party ?
