Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has convened a high-level meeting tomorrow (Monday) to discuss the ongoing situation in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), state-run APP reported.
The development comes after two days of violent protests in the AJK, which left at least one police official dead and more than 90 others injured, came to a temporary halt on Sunday.
Earlier in the day, PM Shehbaz expressed concerns over the worsening situation in the region.
“Unfortunately, in situations of chaos and dissent, there are always some, who rush in to score political points,” he wrote on his X timeline. “Despite the efforts of detractors, the matter is expected to be settled soon.”
The premier also spoke to the Prime Minister of AJK and directed the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) office bearers in the region to engage with the leaders of the Action Committee to find a peaceful resolution.
He emphasised that while debate, discussion, and peaceful protests were the beauty of democracy, there was no tolerance for taking the law into one’s own hands and damaging government property.
