Federal Minister for Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit Baltistan Chaudhry Muhammad Barjees Tahir has expressed dismay over the filing of reference against Azad Jammu and Kashmir Prime Minster Raja Farooq Haider by Pakistan People’s Party Azad Jammu Kashmir chapter and said that this attitude was deplorable and condemnable. In a statement, Chaudhry Barjees Tahir said that AJK PM Raja Farooq Haider was a patriotic Kashmiri and Pakistani and PPP’s reference against him exposed PPP leadership before people of AJK. He said Raja Farooq Haider was recognized as patriotic and a fair person in all over Azad Jammu Kashmir and Pakistan. Chuadhry Barjees Tahir said that Farooq Haider had spent his whole life for the protection of rights of people of AJK and continued struggle for accession of Kashmir to Pakistan. Ch. Barjees Tahir further stated that AJK PM was raising voice for the freedom of Kashmir and accession to Pakistan in all over the world. He said that the former PM Nawaz had showed generosity for PPP’s government in AJK to fulfill its tenure smoothly but in return PPP as replying with negative tactics and conspiracies against PML-N government.
Leader of the opposition in the Azad Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly, Chaudhry Mohammad Yasin had filed a reference for the disqualification of Prime Minister Raja Farooq Haider. The reference was submitted in the Legislative Assembly secretariat on his behalf by a local PPP leader. Mr Yasin had urged the Legislative Assembly speaker to forward his reference to the AJK chief election commissioner for declaring Mr Haider disqualified from being an MLA and prime minister with effect from July 29, 2017. Pakistan People’s Party had lost the last elections due to bad performance and it was rejected by masses. Now it seems PPP wants to regain its lost political ground by exploitation of the situation. Azad Jammu Kashmir Prime Minster Raja Farooq Haider had not owned the controversial statement attributed to him regarding the accession of Kashmir. He had categorically denied the media report. There was no justification of any agitation or a reference against him. Some elements created storm in teacup and utilized the situation for their vested interests. It would be tantamount to destabilize the democratic system and may create political instability. It may also adversely impact the performance of the government. AJK PM should be given time to complete his tenure smoothly as he was enjoying strong public mandate.
