National ( The cow news digital ) Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that he does not want to see politics similar to the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) or its founder’s style in Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
Bilawal made the remarks while chairing a party meeting focused on the political situation in Azad Kashmir. He said political parties that chose to boycott the electoral process should reconsider their approach and emphasized that issues should be addressed through constitutional and democratic forums.
The PPP chairman said that after the elections, a constitutional platform should be established where all stakeholders can sit together and make decisions in the interest of the people of Kashmir.
Discussing ongoing protests in the region, Bilawal claimed that the Azad Kashmir government had accepted all demands presented by the protesters. He said that while peaceful protest is a democratic right, such movements cannot continue indefinitely.
“You have created a record by continuing the protest for 30 days. Protests do not last forever; now is the time to end the protest and come for dialogue,” Bilawal said.
He stressed that political rights and public demands should be pursued while remaining within the existing system. According to him, lasting solutions could only be achieved through dialogue and constitutional channels rather than prolonged confrontation.
Bilawal also announced that he would remain in Kashmir until the completion of the elections, highlighting the importance of the region’s political process.
