Nawaz okays launch of PML-N in AJK

LAHORE: The PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif has accorded a formal approval for the launching of his party in the AJK.He granted this approval at a meeting with the ex-AJK prime minister Raja Farooq Haider at Raiwand Farm here on Tuesday.

PML-N senior leader Senators Muhammad Zafarul Haq and Senator Pervez Rashid were also present on the occasion. Farooq Haider apprised the PML-N chief of no-trust motion tabled by opposition parties led by Muslim Conference chief Sardar Atiq.

Nawaz said he had already made up his mind to form N-league in the AJK. However, he deferred his decision due to reconciliation with Sardar Qayum and Sardar Atiq. He said the PML-N is dead set against govt intervention in the AJK political and administrative matters. He said it is “our long term demand that the elected representatives over there should be given full authority to conduct political and administrative matters”.

“It has now become essential to launch the PML-N for the people of Kashmir and continuation of freedom movement,” he said. According to sources, Nawaz has also constituted a committee to organise the party in the AJK. Senior leader Raja Zafarul Haq will be the head of the committee.

Member Kashmir Council Sardar Farooq Sikandar has been appointed as the PML-N Secretary General in the AJK while they discussed the names of Barrister Sultan Mehmood Chaudhry, Raja Farooq and Sardar Sikandar for the party presidentship in the AJK.

The three members committee would review and choose the party president in the AJK among Barrister Sultan Mehmood Chaudhry and Sardar Sikandar. The committee would soon finalise the name of president and present the report to Nawaz Sharif.
