Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb said on Wednesday accused Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan of doing politics on Kashmir. In a statement, the minister said first he (Imran) ran a dirty campaign against the martyrs of the nation and now he was doing politics on Kashmir. She alleged the person “who looted Toshakhana and sold gifted watches was now doing dirty and shameless politics in the name of Kashmir”. “Kashmir seller should not tell Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif what to do about Kashmir problem,” she said while taking dig at Imran Khan.
She said that the AJK prime minister, at the instigation of Imran Khan, indulged in a regrettable act during the Mangla Dam refurbishment project ceremony.
“Imran Khan, for the sake of bolstering his sinking politics, stooped to a mean and reprehensible trick of giving a negative colour to an event of Azad Kashmir and Pakistan’s progress. “What else can be expected from an artisan who harmed national interests by changing the minutes of the cipher,” she said while referring to the so called foreign intervention claim of Imran. The minister said that prime minister of Azad Kashmir neither cared about his position nor about the sensitivity of the Kashmir issue. She said it was not appropriate to use the Kashmir issue for personal and political interests. Marriyum Aurangzeb said the AJK prime minister deliberately interfered during the speech of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who gently told him that “we will sit down and talk”. “Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has vigorously advocated and highlighted the Kashmir cause and the interests of Kashmiris at every international forum, including the United Nations General Assembly and Shanghai Cooperation Organization.” Due to the incompetence, inefficiency and conspiracy of the “Kashmir seller”, India had the courage to take the illegal action of August 5, 2019, she remarked.
She said that Imran Khan had prayed for Modi’s victory in 2019 elections and claimed that the Kashmir issue will be resolved if Modi was re-elected. She maintained that entire nation was united and had one voice on the Jammu and Kashmir conflict.
