AJK polls: Farrukh asks PML-N, PPP not to mislead people

ISLAMABAD: Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Farrukh Habib on Sunday said Pakistan Muslims League-Nawaz (PMLN) and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) should focus on election campaigns rather than dragging attention of Azad Jammu Kashmir (AJK) people towards irrelevant issues.

Talking to a private news channel he said, both parties were hiding the poor performance during their tenures in AJK and trying to mislead people to select a better option for them.

He said the prime minister fought case of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJ&K) without any fear and exposed the dirty face of Modi-led government in United Nations General Assembly, adding, due to his efforts the Western media was also writing against brutality of Indian forces in Kashmir. Farrukh Habib said PMLN was criticising officers of the departments and institutions for cases against their party supporters though they were facing the brunt of their corruption and illegal deeds.
