Talal Chaudhry hits back at Bilawal over AJK polls

Islamabad: Minister of State for Interior Talal Chaudhry has criticized PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari over his reaction to the Azad Jammu and Kashmir elections, saying political leaders should accept electoral outcomes with grace instead of complaining after defeat.

Speaking at the PML-N’s election review meeting for Poonch Division, Chaudhry said the party’s victories in the first two phases of the AJK local elections reflect the confidence Kashmiris have in the performance of the federal and Punjab governments.

He claimed voters supported the PML-N because of its governance and development record, adding that people across Pakistan aspire to the same level of progress achieved in Punjab.

The meeting was attended by district and constituency coordinators, along with PML-N candidates from Poonch Division, where party leaders also reviewed campaign preparations and polling strategy for the third phase of the elections.
