Khawaja Asif urges JAAC to let AJK voters decide fate of refugee seats

Defence Minister Khawaja Asif urged the proscribed Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) to allow Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) voters to decide the fate of 12 refugee seats in the region’s Legislative Assembly. The JAAC demands abolishing the seats reserved for Kashmiri refugees, but Asif argued that refugees’ voting rights should not be removed, emphasizing their historical sacrifices and Pakistan’s collective stake in AJK.
