ISLAMABAD: Senior Punjab Minister Maryam Aurangzeb has expressed confidence that the people of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) are firmly backing the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), saying recent public gatherings reflect growing support for the party ahead of the August 2 elections.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, Aurangzeb said the people of Mirpur had demonstrated their trust in the PML-N during the visit of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz on July 24. She described the enthusiastic public response as a clear indication of the party’s popularity in the region.

She further stated that voters would reinforce this support through the ballot box by electing PML-N candidates under the party’s election symbol, the lion. According to Aurangzeb, the people believe that the progress and prosperity of Azad Jammu and Kashmir are closely tied to the PML-N’s development agenda.

Referring to earlier political activity, she said Muzaffarabad had already conveyed its support for the party on July 21. Aurangzeb added that the people of Kashmir would make their final decision on polling day, August 2, by voting in favour of the PML-N.
