PML-N will form Azad Kashmir government, claims Attaullah Tarar
Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar has claimed that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) will secure a clear majority and form the next government in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) following the ongoing phased elections.
Speaking at an event in Lahore, Tarar said the people of Azad Kashmir had expressed confidence in the PML-N because of its commitment to development, stability and support for Pakistan.
He claimed that the party's candidates had performed strongly in several constituencies, particularly in the Mirpur Division, attributing the results to an extensive election campaign by PML-N workers.
"The people of Azad Kashmir are expressing confidence in the PML-N, and the final election results will also be in the party's favour," Tarar said, adding that the party enjoyed widespread public support across the region.
Criticism of opposition
The information minister criticised opposition parties, saying they lacked a practical agenda for development and economic progress.
He said the PML-N had consistently prioritised public service, infrastructure development and economic stability, which, according to him, had strengthened its electoral prospects.
Tarar also dismissed objections raised over refugee seats, alleging that certain elements were attempting to create unnecessary controversy. He expressed confidence that voters would reject such narratives.
