Former Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) prime minister Barrister Sultan Mahmood has accused Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) of distributing Rs1billion to influence the AJK general elections.
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf AJK chapter president was addressing a press conference on Thursday.
“We have solid evidence that the PML-N has distributed Rs1billion among proposed candidates under the name of a special development fund (SDF) to influence voters,” Mahmood said.
He claimed that Sharif will release the second instalment of Rs2billion in a couple of weeks.
He also accused Pakistan Peoples Party of using government resources to win the polls. He appealed to Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Justice Mustafa Mughal to take notice of the “illegal distribution” of Kashmir Council funds among PML-N ticket holders.
