Information Minister Attaullah Tarar says PML-N is leading the AJK elections, highlighting the party’s development agenda and commitment to the Kashmir cause.
LAHORE: Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar expressed confidence on Sunday that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) would form the next government in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), citing what he described as the party’s strong performance in the ongoing elections.
Addressing a ceremony in Lahore, Tarar congratulated PML-N candidates for their success in the Mirpur Division and praised party workers for conducting an energetic and effective election campaign.
He said the PML-N’s political philosophy has always centered on public service and development, adding that the party’s previous governments had delivered significant infrastructure and welfare projects in Kashmir. Tarar credited former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif with advancing development in the region and said Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has continued that agenda by launching major initiatives, including the establishment of Danish Schools.
The information minister paid tribute to the sacrifices made by the people of Kashmir, saying their struggle remains a central issue for the party. He maintained that PML-N had consistently advocated for the Kashmir cause and raised the issue at international forums, including the United Nations, under the leadership of Nawaz Sharif and Shehbaz Sharif.
Referring to the ongoing AJK elections, Tarar claimed that PML-N had secured a clear advantage in the first phase of polling and that the party’s message was receiving strong public support across Kashmir. He expressed confidence that the party would also perform strongly in refugee constituencies and other electoral contests.
He also emphasized that political participation is the democratic right of every political party but argued that no rival could match PML-N’s record in governance, development, and public service.
Commenting on criticism surrounding refugee seats, Tarar said certain elements were attempting to create unnecessary controversy, adding that the electorate would ultimately decide through the democratic process.
