ISLAMABAD: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) has announced to raise voice for timely election in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) at every forum, ARY News reported on Monday.
Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, former prime minister and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) senior leader Raja Pervaiz Ashraf said the Pakistan Tehreek-Insaf (PTI) government is working against its claims.
He claimed that the PTI government after seeing their expected defeat in the elections is trying to delay the polls to temper the voters’ list.
There is no provision in the constitution to delay general elections in the AJK, he added. Ashraf vowed to raise the issue at every forum and added that the PPP will ensure timely elections in the region.
