They discussed the Kashmir freedom movement together with national political stability and law enforcement topics.
At the gathering, Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi stressed to Sardar Tanveer Ilyas his importance in national development and encouraged him to carry it on into the future as well, the same way he had shown before. He stressed Kashmiris and Pakistanis shared a strong bond by declaring that political stability in AJK needed Ilyas to ensure its progress.
Elahi declared Pakistan’s solid support for Kashmiris in the Jammu and Kashmir region which would persist through Indian control of their territory. He declared that throughout history the Pakistani government and people have continuously backed Kashmir’s independence cause which will not change.
Sardar Tanveer Ilyas Khan thanked Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi for his visit and recognized the role of the Chaudhry family in AJK development. During the meeting, he praised Kashmiri people who have forfeited their lives and financial wealth to maintain their Pakistan allegiance. The citizens of Jammu and Kashmir have continued to rely on Pakistan forces and the nation for their backing since the beginning of this connection remains robust.
During the meeting, the delegates spent time discussing the national political situation but with special attention dedicated to AJK affairs. Supreme Court of AJK declared the disqualification null when Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi praised Sardar Tanveer Ilyas for his legal triumph in the court.
The Chaudhry Brothers have played a crucial role in the establishment and growth of the state, according to Sardar Tanveer Ilyas Khan, who also expressed gratitude for Pervez Elahi’s concern.
Millions of Kashmiris have sacrificed both financially and emotionally for their Pakistani affiliation, he claimed. Pakistan’s forces have always been the aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, and Kashmiris have always been supported by 25 million people and forces of Pakistan.
