MUZAFFARABAD: Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif on Tuesday said he would ask Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to appoint him as the prime minister of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) if the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) wins the upcoming AJK elections.
Addressing a public rally at the University Ground in Muzaffarabad as part of the party’s election campaign, Nawaz Sharif made the remarks while outlining his vision for the region and promising sweeping development projects.
“If the PML-N wins the Azad Kashmir elections, I will ask Shehbaz Sharif to make me the prime minister of Azad Kashmir,” he told supporters.
He added that even if he did not become the AJK prime minister, he would personally visit Muzaffarabad and other cities every three months to monitor progress on the party’s election manifesto.
