ISLAMABAD -UNS: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari said on Friday that his party was in a position to form and take charge of the government in Azad Jammu and Kashmir, whose incumbent prime minister faces a no-confidence motion.
In his press conference alongside PPP leaders in Islamabad, Bilawal remained tight-lipped about his party’s candidate for the prime minister’s slot.
“Don’t worry, that announcement will be made from Kashmir, not Islamabad,” quipped Bilawal, the former foreign minister, when asked about the nominee’s name.
The PPP chief said that the new Leader of the House would be announced when the no-confidence motion is moved against the incumbent PM.
The PPP chairman emphasised that his party was committed to resolving Kashmir’s issues, saying that during his tenure as foreign minister, he highlighted the Kashmir issue both domestically and internationally.
“For three generations, the PPP has fought Kashmir’s cause across the world,” said Bilawal, who also led Pakistan’s delegation to counter the Indian narrative after the May war.
Bilawal claimed that the PPP had won the AJK elections during the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government’s tenure in the federal government, despite facing a wide range of challenges.
