Adviser to the Prime Minister on Political Affairs Rana Sanaullah said the people of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) had expressed confidence in Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), hoping the party would secure a two-thirds majority in the AJK Assembly.
Addressing a press conference alongside other PML-N leaders, Rana Sanaullah said Raja Faisal Ijaz had contested the LA-14 constituency on the party’s ticket, but the party accepted the decision of the electorate.
He said Sajid Iqbal had also joined their team and decided to support PML-N for the development of the constituency. He added that Raja Faisal Ijaz and Sajid Iqbal would work together like brothers for the area’s progress.
Rana Sanaullah said AJK needed development and thanked the people of Muzaffarabad and Mirpur for reposing confidence in PML-N. He said voters had elected representatives capable of addressing public issues.
He said clean and transparent elections were essential for resolving AJK’s problems, adding that voter turnout stood at 56% overall.
The adviser said those participating in the sit-in were also considered brothers and that 99% of them were patriots. He stressed that the people of Kashmir had the same rights as citizens elsewhere in Pakistan.
