Opp defeated in AJK elections: governor

LAHORE:Governor Ch Muhammad Sarwar has said whether the opposition accepts it or not, it has been defeated in Azad Kashmir and Pakistan Tehreek-e- Insaf has won.

The victory of PTI in Azad Kashmir elections is a nightmare for Modi. PTI has now emerged as biggest political power that enjoys the supports of the masses. Thanks to Kashmiris for showing such great love for PTI, the governor said while talking to the media and delegations from different districts of Tehreek-e-Insaf at Governor’s House here on Monday.

Congratulating successful candidates of elections, he said by supporting the change, Kashmiri people have supported Kashmir's ambassador Prime Minister Imran Khan, adding the success of PTI in Kashmir is dedicated to hardworking workers of PTI in Kashmir who represented PM’s mission to people by visiting every corner of Kashmir.

He said the success of PTI in Azad Kashmir is a great milestone in the history of Kashmir. Ch Sarwar said that the opposition has always been pursuing confrontational politics but now they should accept the election results of Azad Kashmir polls by putting egos aside because people have rejected the stance of opposition and have expressed confidence in PTI and the policies of the federal government, adding PTI will not disappoint the people of Azad Kashmir and the government under the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan will fulfill the promises made to them. The governor said the government is ready for electoral reforms to make the elections in the country completely transparent but the opposition is running away from electoral reforms.

He invited the opposition to work with government to make the electoral system in the country strong and transparent so that no losing party in future would be able to point fingers at election's transparency.

Ch Sarwar said PTI has raised voice all over the world for the victims of Indian atrocities in Kashmir and for their freedom. Atrocities against Kashmiris by Indian army and Narendra Modi are the biggest terrorism in the history and peace cannot be established in the region until Kashmir gets independence and 220 million Pakistanis stand united with their Kashmiri brothers and sisters, the governor said.
