The chairman of the National Assembly’s (NA) Parliamentary Committee on Kashmir, Rana Muhammad Qasim Noon, has requested a meeting with NA Opposition Leader Mahmood Khan Achakzai to discuss the ongoing situation in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK).
Ahmed Kashmir and the Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) remain at odds over various issues, particularly the committee’s demand for the abolition of 12 seats in the region’s Legislative Assembly reserved for refugees from Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir who settled in mainland Pakistan after 1947.
In a letter to Achakzai, Noon wished to meet him at the earliest. He emphasized Achakzai’s experience, leadership, and insights on foreign policy issues would be valuable in developing a coordinated national strategy to highlight the Kashmir issue at the regional and international levels.
