PPP moves to oust AJK PM as President Zardari ''gives'' go-ahead
2025-10-26
[GEO.TV] The Pakistain Peoples Party (PPP) has announced forming its own government in Azad Jammu and Kashmir
...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
after President Asif Ali Ten Percent Zardari

...former president of Pakistain, husband of the late Benazir Bhutto, who has been singularly lacking in curiosity about who done her in...
reportedly greenlighted the party's decision to oust incumbent Prime Minister Chaudhry Anwarul Haq.

The decision was taken following back-to-back meetings chaired separately by President Zardari and PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari.

The meeting — chaired by Zardari at President's House in Islamabad — was attended by party chairman Bilawal, Faryal Talpur, Raja Pervaiz Ashraf, and Qamar Zaman Kaira.

During the meeting, the president gave approval to bring a no-confidence motion against the incumbent prime minister, sources said. Moreover, they added that Zaradri will finalise the party's nominee for the AJK premiership after consultations.

Sources also confirmed that Bilawal, who had also served as the country's foreign minister, would formally announce government formation on Monday.

Separately, sources told Geo News that the party is considering the names of Chaudhry Muhammad Yasin and Chaudhry Latif Akbar for the slot of AJK premier.

They said that PPP had secured the required numbers to pass the no-confidence motion if the current AJK prime minister refuses to step down.

Meanwhile,
...back at the shootout, Butch shot Ike through the elbow. Take that, Ike! he yelled......
PPP AJK leader Chaudhry Yasin confirmed that the party had made a ''final decision'' to form its government.

''All parliamentary party members attended the meetings, which included detailed and comprehensive discussions,'' Yasin told news hounds.

He added that the decision on who would become the next AJK prime minister would be taken by the party leadership, and that Bilawal Bhutto would formally announce the name.

A separate session chaired by Bilawal Bhutto, earlier in the day, had endorsed an in-house change, with party leaders agreeing to move a no-confidence motion against the incumbent AJK premier.

Earlier, PPP leader Kaira — while speaking to journalists outside Zardari House —said that while the situation in AJK was ''worrying for all parties,'' the final decision would be made after consultation with President Zardari.

''We have heard that the PML-N has decided to sit in the opposition, but we have not been officially informed,'' he added.

Kaira said the party would hold another meeting with the president before formally announcing details to the media, noting that governments are formed when the required number is achieved.
