ISLAMABAD (Kashmir English): Political maneuvering continues in Azad Kashmir ahead of general elections with the PML-N entering into an alliance with JUI-Kashmir.
An electoral alliance has been formed between All Jammu and Kashmir Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam and Muslim League-N, under which both parties have, in principle, decided to jointly contest the elections. On this occasion, a 10-point agenda was also agreed upon.
The meeting was held at Punjab House Islamabad, attended by Minister for Kashmir Affairs Amir Muqam and Prime Minister’s Advisor for Political Affairs Rana Sanaullah.
The meeting was attended by President of Muslim League-N Azad Kashmir Shah Ghulam Qadir, Central Information Secretary Mushtaq Minhas, Central Joint Secretary Raja Farhan Azam, and other leaders.
