PRIME MINISTER Imran Khan has reminded the people of Jammu & Kashmir that once they have acceded to Pakistan after the UN-mandated referendum in light of the UN Security Council resolutions, Islamabad would grant them the right to an independent status if a majority so desired. Speaking to a campaign rally in Azad Kashmir two days prior to the elections, he also brushed aside allegations by the opposition that his government was planning to convert AJK into a province. Mr Khan’s statement on the independence for Kashmir has elicited a strong reaction from his political opponents. Leader of the Opposition Shehbaz Sharif, in a statement issued on Saturday, said the prime minister’s utterance deviated from Pakistan’s historical and constitutional stance, adding that any attempt to impose a solution on Kashmiris without their will and consultation would amount to a betrayal of the Kashmir cause.
