MUZAFFARABAD: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz has asserted that the government and the opposition were united on the Kashmir issue despite political differences.
The PML-N vice-president expressed solidarity with the Kashmiris during Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM)’s public gathering in Jammu and Kashmir’s capital Muzaffarabad.
“Though we have some political differences with the PTI-led federal government but when it comes to matters of national interest, such as Kashmir, the people of Pakistan stand as one,” the PML-N vice president added.
However, she criticized Prime Minister Imran Khan and accused him of selling occupied Kashmir (IoK). “Even during the eras of dictators, India didn’t have the courage to change Kashmir’s status,” she added.
“I heard PM Imran is coming to Kotli today, and had send a notice to AJK police, saying that no members of opposition parties be allowed to attend the rally. Because the fake prime minister is afraid that people will hold him accountable,” she added.
Maryam, speaking about her father Nawaz Sharif’s tenure, said that the country was on its way to prosperity and development during his government. “Nawaz Sharif was the only one who was capable of solving the Kashmir dispute,” she claimed.
She also paid tribute to the Kashmiri martyrs who were killed by the Indian forces and assured the people of occupied Kashmir that “when you are hurt, our hearts are also wounded.
The PML-N leader also criticised PM Imran’s foreign and defence policy, saying that his strategies had weakened the country. “Whenever a weak government formed, it led to a weaker Pakistan,” she remrarked.
Maryam also claimed that PML-N lawmakers were getting phone calls and being asked to support the ruling PTI on a bill to end secret balloting in Senate.
