Bilawal receives JAAC response on reconciliation commission, says AJK PM to consult stakeholders on way forward

PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari received a response from the proscribed Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) regarding his proposal for a Truth and Reconciliation Commission in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK). He plans to consult stakeholders, including AJK Prime Minister Faisal Mumtaz Rathore, to determine next steps amid ongoing protests over the removal of 12 refugee-reserved seats in the region’s Legislative Assembly. The regional government banned JAAC, accusing it of terrorism and destabilizing the region.
