RAWALAKOT: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Sunday unleashed a torrent of criticism on the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) policies towards Kashmir, vowing his party would win the Azad Jammu and Kashmir elections, while government ministers hit back, criticising the PPP chief’s “obliviousness” of his party’s position in the territory.
The remarks come as election campaigns heat up for the 11th General Elections of Azad Jammu and Kashmir, which will be held on July 25.
In a speech in Rawalakot, Bilawal followed up with his criticism from a day before in Kotli, in which he called Prime Minister Imran Khan a “security risk” for his remarks on the country’s nuclear programme. Khan had said in his Axios interview that once the Kashmir issue was resolved, there would be no need for a nuclear program.
