resolution also adopted

MUZAFFARABAD: The Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Legislative Assembly on Wednesday passed unanimously the resolutions regarding ultimate faith in finality of the Prophethood (SAW) and honour and respect of the Sahaba Karam (RA) and the Ahle-Bait (RA).

The AJK Assembly reposed full confidence in the leadership of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and asked the opposition parties to respect the verdict of the Supreme Court of Pakistan.

The House passed six different resolutions expressing great satisfaction over the performance of federal government of Pakistan, moved by Leader of the House Raja Farooq Haider Khan, Deputy Speaker Sardar Farooq Tahir, Minister for Law Raja Nisar Ahmad, Senior Minister Ch Tariq Farooq, Minister for Forests Sardar Mir Akbar Khan, MLAs Mustafa Bashir Abbasi and Asad Aleem Shah.

The speaker put a combined draft of the resolutions before the House, which was adopted by the majority members while the opposition had boycotted the proceedings and staged a sit-in in front of the House in protest against increasing the salaries and privileges of the prime minister and  ministers.

The joint resolution said the country had been put on the road to progress and prosperity as all indicators were positive by the government led by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and any attempt to destabilise the government would be harmful for the growing economy and efforts to root out terrorism.

The resolution asked the opposition parties to avoid any agitation that could destabilise democracy in the country and let the smooth transition of power after completion of the tenure in larger public interest take place.

The resolution also lauded the efforts of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for raising the Kashmir issue at the United Nations' and other international forums and assured him every support from the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
