Federal Minister for Information Broadcasting and National Heritage (IB&NH) Senator Pervaiz Rashid has alleged that the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) government in Azad Kashmir has miserably failed to deliver, and remove the grievances of the masses during the last five years.
Addressing the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) workers convention in Mirpur Azad Jammu and Kashmir on Wednesday, Pervaiz Rasheed said that the PPP government despite spending huge funds delayed the Neelum-Jhelum project.
He claimed that rapid development in AJK would only be possible if PML-N forms government in the state.
The information minister said that the resolution of Kashmir issue and end to ceasefire violation at the Line of Control (LoC) is the top priority of the government. He said that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had raised these issues in a recent meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Federal Minister for Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit Baltistan (GB), Chaudhry Barjees Tahir addressing the convention said that PML-N would get a clear victory in the coming elections in Azad Kashmir. He said that AJK needs leadership with vision, which only PML-N leaders could provide.
Speaking on the occasion Advisor to PM Dr. Asif Kirmani said that PPP leadership undermined the Kashmir issue by converting it into a bilateral dispute by signing the Simla Accord with India; however, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif revived the Kashmir issue at the international forum.
