Kashmiris and PPP are inseparable, Bilawal Bhutto tells AJK president



Pakistan People’s Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that Kashmiris and the PPP are inseparable, and the people of Kashmir have always elected the PPP whenever free and fair elections are held.

He was talking to Azad Jammu and Kashmir President Sardar Muhammad Yaqoob Khan, who called on him at Bilawal House on Friday.

The AJK president briefed Bilawal on the situation arising out after Indian aggression across the Line of Control (LoC).

President Sardar Muhammad Yaqoob Khan discussed with the PPP chairman the upcoming elections and invited him to visit Azad Jammu and Kashmir to meet the Kashmiri people. The two leaders also discussed the situation in Azad Kashmir and Occupied Kashmir.

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari assured him that he would visit AJK very soon. He said that the PPP had the same policy about Kashmir that was initiated by Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Benazir Bhutto. He said that the PPP also accords respect to the Hurriyat leaders of Occupied Kashmir and appreciates their peaceful struggle for the right of self-determination of the people of Kashmir.

The PPP chairman said that the party had always sacrificed for the cause of people of Kashmir and raised their issue at every forum on both national and international levels.

The AJK president appreciated the services of the PPP and former president Asif Ali Zardari, who gave special attention to the development in Azad Jammu and Kashmir and development work carried out during former president Zardari’s tenure exceeded that done in 67 years.

He said that three medical colleges and universities were established in different cities of AJK for the first time during the current PPP government under the guidance of Asif Ali Zardari. He said that Kashmiris were still sticking to the famous slogan of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, that we will fight for Kashmir for thousands of years and won’t rest until they are given their right to self-determination.
