In reply to Nawaz, Bilawal says people of AJK not ready to 'bargain away their rights'
Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari of the PPP responded to Nawaz Sharif of the PML-N, asserting that residents of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) and similar-named regions will not surrender their political rights. The exchange occurs ahead of AJK's first election phase in Mirpur, amid allegations of pre-poll rigging and criticism of PML-N's 'gifts' of e-buses. Bilawal emphasized the PPP's infrastructure and educational projects in AJK, contrasting them with the PML-N's promises.
